The Night That Once Was Mine

The Night That Once Was Mine - Jack Bruce

I've climbed this hill too many times

Now passion seems like it's a crime

My memories leaves dead on the line

Tomorrow's finished all that fine fine wine

I've run this road so many years

Remembering how I lived each curve

And now my screen's filled up with tears

I can't see through the pain I learned

No future now without the fear

I'll get too near to love that burns

The night was once the night was twice

The night was mine

I dealt in dreams until they faded

Into ghosts in headlong flight

Felt every mile that I paid

For reaching out towards the light

The dancers thought it was a raid

And disappeared into the night

That once was mine

I've sailed the storm so many ways

Desires vanish in the haze

There's only ashes from the blaze

The future's losing all the long love days

I've flown these skies both dark and light

But now my heart's blocked up with snow

Most moments felt so very right

But I can't break the ice that grows

No morning now without the chance

Of petals falling from the rose

The night was once the night was twice

The night was mine

I traded steel until it fractured

Into fields of crumbling rust

All the precautions that I packed

Were colors I could never trust

The swimmer's getting out of sight

She's disappeared into the night

That once was mine

I traded steel until it fractured

Into fields of crumbling rust

All the precautions that I packed

Were colors I could never trust

The swimmer's getting out of sight

She's disappeared into the night

That once was mine
