lyrics

A touch of fists and ringing bell before each round
Then I dug a hole and that wishing well goes deep
Coins are tossed in but they never make a sound
and I drifted through this life while fast asleep

I lost count
of the instances
where I could have done things better than I did
I lost count
but, the difference is
as every minute goes by
I can try
and I might fail
but, I'm counting on what will prevail

I set down the brush on this week's masterpiece
and I wiped the paint from my hands
on the golden fleece
Frowning back at me
Mona Lisa looks confused
She is one half yes, and one half not amused

I lost count
of the promises
that I made as I was drifting off to sleep
I lost count
but, the difference is
as every minute goes by
I can try
and I might fail
but, I'm counting on what will prevail

[SOLO]

I lost count

I lost count
but, the difference is
as every minute goes by
I might try
and I might fail
and the ship may not set sail
Yeah, I know the tragic tale
What will prevail?
