Always The Winner

(アルバム： The Big Wheel - 1991)

Oh when you close your eyes
There's a frightened pride that lives for you
That your mother's life
Your father's eyes can't hide
You had no choice
Didn't ask the dice to fall for you
Still your courage comes
Like thunder through the skies

You're always the winner
The victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You will not grow old

So you carry time
Down the tortured line where mysteries show
Well hidden from
Life's learned and life's wise
Man's useless ways
Worthless conversation
Lie well exposed
And humbled in your smile

You're always the winner
The victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You'll never be alone

For evermore the winner
The taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You will not grow old

Still you run out in the morning with the boys and the girls
A miracle of innocence on a head of curls
We'll search every reason wherever we roam
Find a place for these broken hearts and bones
We'll keep a fire on the hillsides after the summer's gone
And we'll wait here till the war-wounded come home

You're always the winner
The victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You'll never be alone

For evermore the winner
The taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You will not grow old

You're always the winner
The victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You'll never be alone

For evermore the winner
The taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You will not grow old
