lyrics

Shining hour feel the power
Of the wind on the wheel
Silver blue shining down on you
On a night you can feel

Look out your window
There’s a change in the sky
Your time has come
Don’t let it pass you by
Just go the way the crow flies

And I’m on my way
Cross your blue horizon
I was born to play
Fortune and fame
Is just a loser’s game
It’s the only game I know
Gonna play to win

Ain’t no stranger to the lure
Of Lady Danger
She would like you to dance
Caught in her charms
She could do you harm
But you must take that chance

There’s no tomorrow
On which you can depend
This is the hour
That you will lose or win
Don’t press your luck, my friend

(chorus)

You’re standing up on that stage
And the lights are shining on you
You’re really rolling
Just as the light starts to fade
Before you win
You’ve got to learn how to lose
Before you can choose
No gain
But the rules remain the same
So there you are

There’s no tomorrow
On which you can depend
This is the hour
That you will lose or win
Don’t press your luck, my friend

(chorus)
