Rush - Losing It lyrics

The dancer slows her frantic pace
In pain and desperation
Her aching limbs and downcast
Face aglow with perspiration stiff as wire
Her lungs on fire with
Just the briefest pause
The flooding through her memory
The echoes of old applause

And she limps across the floor
And closes her bedroom door

The writer's stares with glassy eyes
Defies the empty page
His beard is white, his face is lined
And streaked with tears of rage
Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark and
Dulled by sickness and indecision

And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more

Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die than
Never to have known it

For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee the bell tolls for

For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee
The bell tolls for thee
