Brass & Batons Lyrics - Singles - 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 

Till 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 your 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
