Dancer In The Fire Lyrics

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
