The last time I saw you 
Was the spring of '75 
And way back then I was afraid 
To look you in the eye 
Yes, even then I found it hard to 
To look you in the eye 

Come a-running to me with your soul in your hand 
Like a child who knew no fear 
With such a need to be alive 
I was scared to get too near 
With such a need to be alive 
I was scared to get too near 

You burned so bright into the night 
A dancer in the fire 
I wished I had your nerve back then 
But I was scared to walk the wire 
Yes, I was scared to walk the wire 
I was afraid to walk the wire 

And now it's three years later 
You're still eager for the game 
But your eyes can't hide the times you tried 
To live too near to the flame 
Your eyes can't hide the tears you cried 
When you got too near the flame

But to you it makes no difference
Just how many times you fall
For you've seen the freedom through the flame
And you can't resist the call
You've seen the freedom through the flame
And you want to taste it all

You burn so bright into the night 
A dancer in the fire 
I wish I had your nerve right now 
But I'm still scared to walk the wire 
Yes, I'm still scared to walk the wire 
I'm still afraid to walk the wire

The last time I saw you 
Was the spring of '75 
And way back then I was afraid 
Of dancing in the fire 
And even now I can't reach out 
To join you on the wire
