Desperate Times - Magnum

When you find yourself

In a field of dreams

But you’re all played out

And you can’t believe

When you’re all alone

In the darkest night

And the wind blows hard

You don’t want to fight

So you ask yourself

Now you’ve come this far

'Cause you can’t look back

Don’t know where you are

But you carry on

In this world of pain

Knowing very well

It’s a tearful game

The beginning to the end

What we borrow, what we lend

We contemplate the past

We all remember well

It’s disappearing fast

But only time will tell

Ask yourself anyway

You can’t lose, come what may

Now desperate times have come

They fall on everyone

When you’ve lost your way

In the pouring rain

And you can’t see how

You’ll get back again

When there’s no one there

When you switch the light

So you settle down

To the longest night

Now the day goes by

But the time goes slow

And this emptiness

It won’t let you go

But you can’t give up

When the cold wind blows

'Cause it’s not in vain

Everyone should know

The beginning to the end

What we borrow, what we lend

We contemplate the past

We all remember well

It’s disappearing fast

But only time will tell

Ask yourself anyway

You can’t lose, come what may

Now desperate times have come

They fall on everyone

You just keep waiting

Nowhere to hide

Now how does it feel

Here tonight?

Ask yourself anyway

You can’t lose, come what may

We contemplate the past

We all remember well

It’s disappearing fast

But only time will tell

We contemplate the past

We all remember well

Now desperate times have come

They fall on everyone

Everyone

Everyone

Everyone
