"Play For Keeps" lyrics

Dismantled senses, don't realise
How the fences have gone so high
The date is flying at the speed of light
Working overtime to keep a dream alive

Oh how the wind is howling high
Carries not a word to testify
Oh the quite room with saddened cries
In their home, by and by

Cold winds bring in cold showers
Silence somebody [?]
Never get a play for keeps
Never get a play for keeps
Flying high as a tower
Voices sing by the hour
Never get a play for keeps
Never get a play for keeps

A band of angels life sacrifice
Blew out the candles and lifted their eyes
And watched the dawn as it began to rise
Over that home, by and by

Cold winds bring in cold showers
Silence somebody [?]
Never get a play for keeps
Never get a play for keeps
Flying high as a tower
Voices sing by the hour
Never get a play for keeps
Never get a play for keeps

Cold winds bring in cold showers
Silence somebody [?]
Never get a play for keeps
Never get a play for keeps
Flying high as a tower
Voices sing by the hour
Never get a play for keeps
Never get a play for keeps
