My Brilliant Feat

Did someone call my name? Like a distant drum is beating Or is it just another dream along of long ago? I dance again I am spinning In the light I am living And I can feel the power rushing through my veins Once upon a time I could do no wrong For the candle flickers, the flame is never gone To my brilliant feat They all pay heed I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly Is it a game of chance Or merely circumstances A jack to a king and back Then you have to pay to play The world it won't wait for you It's got its own things to do The sun's gotta rise and drive another night away And as I listen to the silence I can hear thunder in the distance To my brilliant feat They all pay heed I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly To my brilliant feat I make grown men weep And still my eyes grow oh so cloudy --- My Brilliant Feat - Colin Hay
