Brass And Batons lyrics

(Kim Carnes/Donna Weiss)

Take heart the pages turning fast
I`ll be waiting here in the hourglass
There`s a fire in the heartland
There is a dream on every door
When the past is a brass band
Then you know what you`re shooting for

Brass & batons they fade away
They`re only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they`re gone

And the river keeps changin`
Johnny works harder every day
Got an eye on the good life
Fortune`s just a day away
Sundial with a great hand
Sweeping dust across the floor
Puts the strain on a sane man
Til he knows what he`s looking for

Brass & batons they fade away
They`re only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they`re gone

New moon in the evening
Playing tricks on my mind
I swear I felt you heavy breathing
On my neck a thousand times
So let`s play it like we used to
Play it sweet and then
I`ll meet you in the spotlight
When it comes `round again

Brass & batons they fade away
They`re only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they`re gone
And their gone
