Football Hero
(专辑: Sparks Of Ancient Light - 2008)
In the
center of the
field stands the
favorite player The
ball comes floating in, they say a
silent prayer for him. Fifty yards away, a
minute left to go The
ref looks at his watch; Oh, oh He cuts it to the
right, gets past a
defender A
blur of blue and white, the
moment hangs suspended in time. One man left to beat He can see the
goal-keeper's eyes There's magic in his feet; Oh, oh And a
single ray of sunlight reaches down to touch the
golden boy Seems to light his way towards the
net In his mind he sees the
headlines in the
morning newspaper This'll be a
day they won't forget Now he's on his own, completely in control of it all The
shot comes flying in, headed for the
corner of the
goal Bounces off the
post, he watches as it falls Everyone will say, he should have passed the
ball Now the
crowd has gone, the
stadium is empty Several hundred times he will watch the
replay on TV Many years from now when his name's recalled Everyone will say, he should have passed the
ball
