You’ve run the race you’ve cut the chase You’ve landed on your feet You’ve grabbed what’s left you’ve past the test You’ve sat in every seat You’ve been forlorn you’ve seen the dawn You’ve cried your tears of rage You’ve seen the wings and all those things You’ve taken centre stage Your winnings done you’ve had your fun The prize you’ve held above The great escape you’ve broke the tape And all that’s left is love. Jon Mewett These moments Will be lost In time Like tears in the rain [This message has been edited by Jon Mewett (edited 10-17-2001).] |

This simply dances off the page. Your winnings done you’ve had your fun The prize you’ve held above The great escape you’ve broke the tape And all that’s left is love. Beautiful ending. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
