Losing It [R40 Live] Rush

[Verse 1]
The dancer slows her frantic pace in pain and desperation
Her aching limbs and downcast face aglow with perspiration
Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire with just the briefest pause
The flooding through her memory, the echoes of old applause
And she limps across the floor
And closes her bedroom door

[Verse 2]
The writer stare with glassy eyes defies the empty page

With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark and dulled by sickness and indecision
And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more

[Bridge]

But most of us just dream about the things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die than never to have known it

[Chorus]
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee
The bell tolls for...
