Brass & Batons - Kim Carnes

Take heart the pages turning fast

I’ll be waiting here in the hourglass

There’s a fire in the heartland

There is a dream on every door

When the past is a brass band

Then you know what you’re shooting for

Brass & batons they fade away

They’re only moments in the haze

Brass & batons like magic wands

You wave them once and they’re gone

And the river keeps changin'

Johnny works harder every day

Got an eye on the good life

Fortune’s just a day away

Sundial with a great hand

Sweeping dust across the floor

Puts the strain on a sane man

Til he knows what he’s looking for

Brass & batons they fade away

They’re only moments in the haze

Brass & batons like magic wands

You wave them once and they’re gone

New moon in the evening

Playing tricks on my mind

I swear I felt you heavy breathing

On my neck a thousand times

So let’s play it like we used to

Play it sweet and then

I’ll meet you in the spotlight

When it comes 'round again

Brass & batons they fade away

They’re only moments in the haze

Brass & batons like magic wands

You wave them once and they’re gone

And their gone
