Glare of Glory Songtext
von Joe Ely

Once I lived my life in the Glare of Glory
Alone on the stage, just a song and a story
I drank the wine-colored starry night
And fell from the sky in the morning light
I swallowed my pain with the flood light dying
Stood in the rain my eyes were crying
I was the fool who painted rainbows
I was betrayed by the thorns on the rose
Hey, Hey, take me, take me back
Hey, Hey, take me, take me back
Here we go!
Now I see the light, love has found me
I opened my heart I let it surround me
I can′t believe I was so blind
I couldn't see, it was there all the time
I′ll never regret the hand that was dealt me
I walked the sands hot enough to melt me
If any one wonders what kept me goin'


If they don't know by now, it ain′t worth knowin′
It was love
It was beauty
It was Passion
It was whiskey
It was grace
There for the askin'
It was words
It was music
It was pain
It was Texas
It was Manhattan
It was Spain
This is a Carnival, didn′t you know that!
We don' know no one
Swing like a pendulum
Walking on air who cares
Who cares, who really cares
