	Story Behind the Song This is a song about probably the greatest male tennis player of modern times- Its basically a reflection of how I felt after seeing him play as a shadow of his former greatness. Safe to say that it could apply to a thousand sportsmen that play a few seasons too many and tarnish our admiration for them... Lyrics I saw you win on Thursday night for just one match in ten they said it was you playing Like your greatest days again They said you played so brilliantly your speed belied your age tomorrow you'll be mentioned on the "sporting news" front page They said they'd seen you cry hot tears on those days you would play as though it was your lifeblood not the sets that passed away A decade on I shed my own as I looked and I saw the sinking king who used to rule the court ten years before I'd like to think you've fooled me I'd like to think I was wrong I'd like to think the genius that was inside still lives on But lately I have seen a man So beaten down and raw that he cant pull the latch to bar the young men at the door Time is taking things away Some things are long gone But memories of victories and of great things still live on So prove to us that as you played You'll step down gracefully And still be an example when the time has come for me...
