Lyrics Encore - Jack Bruce

Encore

Getting into some new ways
And out of the old
Left the seasons of regret
I’m changing my role
Getting over the dark greys
Maybe finding new ways
Giving up’s harder than living
I’m into the new year
And out of the old
Saw a vision of the stars
Coming out of the cold
Getting over the hard greys
Finding new days
Giving up’s harder than living
Breaking away isn’t easy
And the best is still to come
Found a season to sail on
Into the gail
Found a reason to press on
Those hounds on my tail
Running away, got time to pay, so much to say
Giving myself the hardest sell
Keeping it on
Finding myself a hard shell
That shines in the dawn
Making a start, taking some heart, playing my part
I’m taking the straight line
I’m making my list
I’m catching that train
The chances I missed
I’m getting past the fear
And out into the clear
Giving up’s harder than living
Breaking away isn’t easy
And the best is still to come
There’s a time to go through the lights
When they say red
There’s a time to let crazy games
Move in instead
Making that play, blows you away, can’t always pay
A time to go walking on
Threatening waves
A time to call a stop
Be nobody’s slave
Out into the air, through with the past, giving my share
Not coming last, sun in your hair, gaining so fast
Now you are there
In shaking skies we fly alone
Out in the lead
Our wings are so near burning
Keeping up speed
Falling behind, feeling so blind, walking that line, so fine
Walking that line, so fine
I’m into some new ways
And out of the old
I’m leaving the sadness
I’m changing my role
Leaving out the blue
Feeling so new
Giving up’s harder than living
Breaking away isn’t easy
But the best is still to come
