John Waite Lyrics

[from "Days Of Thunder" soundtrack] In the course of your life There's a side of each man That sleeps in the darkest hour I don't know what it takes It takes time It takes faith To awake the second state of the heart And a simple taste of love To lift us up It's easy enough to believe Cause we're working on this deal for life When your heart's held for ransom Walk away and your spirit will fly Bet the light that burns in your eyes On a deal for life Oh yeah I never danced in a storm I was hooked by a hunger That left a bitter taste in my soul There's a distance between Hard truth and dreams Some days it pays to run with the chances I've got a simple taste of love to lift us up It's easy enough to believe Cause we're working on this deal for life When your heart's held for ransom Walk away and your spirit will fly Bet the light that burns in your eyes On a deal for life And tennis slaves backhand never
