Encore - Jack Bruce

Getting into some new ways

And out of the old

Left the seasons of regret

I’m changing my role

Getting over the dark greys

Maybe finding new ways

Giving up’s harder than living

I’m into the new year

And out of the old

Saw a vision of the stars

Coming out of the cold

Getting over the hard greys

Finding new days

Giving up’s harder than living

Breaking away isn’t easy

And the best is still to come

Found a season to sail on

Into the gail

Found a reason to press on

Those hounds on my tail

Running away, got time to pay, so much to say

Giving myself the hardest sell

Keeping it on

Finding myself a hard shell

That shines in the dawn

Making a start, taking some heart, playing my part

I’m taking the straight line

I’m making my list

I’m catching that train

The chances I missed

I’m getting past the fear

And out into the clear

Giving up’s harder than living

Breaking away isn’t easy

And the best is still to come

There’s a time to go through the lights

When they say red

There’s a time to let crazy games

Move in instead

Making that play, blows you away, can’t always pay

A time to go walking on

Threatening waves

A time to call a stop

Be nobody’s slave

Out into the air, through with the past, giving my share

Not coming last, sun in your hair, gaining so fast

Now you are there

In shaking skies we fly alone

Out in the lead

Our wings are so near burning

Keeping up speed

Falling behind, feeling so blind, walking that line, so fine

Walking that line, so fine

I’m into some new ways

And out of the old

I’m leaving the sadness

I’m changing my role

Leaving out the blue

Feeling so new

Giving up’s harder than living

Breaking away isn’t easy

But the best is still to come
