Al Stewart - Football hero songtekst
Je score:
In the center of the field stands the favorite player The ball comes floating in, they say a silent prayer for him. Fifty yards away, a minute left to go The ref looks at his watch; Oh, oh He cuts it to the right, gets past a defender A blur of blue and white, the moment hangs suspended in time. One man left to beat He can see the goal-keeper's eyes There's magic in his feet; Oh, oh And a single ray of sunlight reaches down to touch the golden boy Seems to light his way towards the net In his mind he sees the headlines in the morning newspaper This'll be a day they won't forget Now he's on his own, completely in control of it all The shot comes flying in, headed for the corner of the goal Bounces off the post, he watches as it falls Everyone will say, he should have passed the ball Now the crowd has gone, the stadium is empty Several hundred times he will watch the replay on TV Many years from now when his name's recalled Everyone will say, he should have passed the ball
