D#m
The dancer slows her frantic pace,
in pain and desperation,
    F#
Her aching limbs and downcast face
   B
aglow with perspiration
D#m
Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire,
with just the briefest pause
      F#
The flooding through her memory,
    B                      C#
The echoes of old applause.
She limps across the floor
     F#                 D#m
and closes her bedroom door.

The writer stare with glassy eyes
defies the empty page
His beard is white, his face is lined
And streaked with tears of rage
Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark
and dulled by sickness and indecision
And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more

 D#               C#
Some are born to move the world,
    G#
to live their fantasies
     D#               C#
But most of us just dream about
      G#
the things we'd like to be
E                D
Sadder still to watch it die than
 E              G
never to have known it

Chorus:
B                      C#
For you, the blind who once could see
B         C#          B C#
The bell tolls for thee...
B         C#    D#
The bell tolls for.

Chorus:
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee
The bell tolls for thee
