The World Goes On Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

See the gambler make a stand 

Holds a lifetime in his hand 

Win the game or lose control 

But the world goes on forever 

Life's a circle, I recall 

Shadows played upon the wall 

You pay the piper to call the tune 

And the song goes on forever 

And when all the words have gone 

There's the thought to carry on 

Just like a bird that sings 

Leave it all behind and spread your wings 

You can leave it all behind - spread your wings 

Lay me down 

Saw the road move on before me 

Times when I was tired and lost my way 

Looking at life and strangely for the first time 

Thinking that I could stay here 

But the world moves on forever 

And when all the words have gone 

There's the thought to carry on 

Just like a bird that sings 

Leave it all behind and spread your wings 

You can leave it all behind - spread your wings
