You know the tricks of the trade

You can hit the soft spots at the center

Dish it out and take it back

Riding on the wave of your pompous ways

But I know that sooner or later

You'll have to wring your lovely hands in dismay

You'll go back to the board room

Add the numbers up and turn the page at the end of the day



Where were you at the bleakest of moments?

Where were you at the hint of success?

When through the window of opportunity came

The glimmer of a day in the sun

Glimmer of a day in the sun



You took the canvas of a life

Torn with the wind and the loss could still pull you along

Pocketing images one by one

Of the past, toward your future,

"A penny for your song"

Position memories carefully

You dust them off at holidays

Then you'll go back to the board room

And declare your passion for the new day



But where were you at the bleakest of moments?

Where were you at the hint of success?

When through the window of opportunity came

The glimmer of a day in the sun

Glimmer of a day in the sun



I don't think that it's me you've got in mind

Looks like the blind still bluffing the blind

Lead me on and lay me down

'Cause where were you?



Where were you at the bleakest of moments?

Where were you at the hint of success?

When through the window of opportunity came

The glimmer of a day in the sun

Glimmer of a day in the sun
