Dancer In The Fire lyrics

The last time I saw you
Was the spring of `75
And way back then I was afraid
to look you in the eye
Yes even then I found it hard to
To look you in the eye

Come a running to me with your soul in your hand
Like a child who knew no fear
With such a need to be alive
I was scared to get too near
With such a need to be alive
I was scared to get too near

You burned so bright into the night
A dancer in the fire
I wished I had your nerve back then
But I was scared to walk the wire
Yes i was scared to walk the wire
I was afraid to walk the wire

And now it`s three years later
You`re still eager for the game
But your eyes can`t hide the times you tried
To live too near too the flame
Your eyes can`t hide the tears you cried
When you got too near the flame.

But to you it makes no difference
Just how many times you fall
For you`ve seen the freedom through the flame
And you can`t resist the call . . .
you`ve seen the freedom through the flame
And you want to taste it all

You burn so bright into the night
A dancer in the fire
I wish I had your nerve right now
But I`m still scared to walk the wire
Yes I`m still scared to walk the wire
I`m still afraid to walk the wire

The last time I saw you
Was the spring of `75
And way back then I was afraid
Of dancing in the fire
And even now I can`t reach out
To join you on the wire
