about

We all have chances. Do we take them? This is basically a stream of consciousness rant about that.

lyrics

All I had for you was another change of mood.
Unfinished stories about how life can be good.
I had so many chances to be.

Hope springs eternal, but Hope can’t find her keys.
Sorting through this mess has brought me to my knees.
I had so many chances to be.

I can be a priest if you want that from me.
I can be a bird of prey up in your tree.
I had so many chances to be.

Take down this note but don’t post it on your page.
Just file it in your heart where no one else can engage.
I had so many chances to be.

I have not broken all of those windows out of spite.
It was art, my darling – a performance for the contrite.
I had so many chances to be.

I am not a tailor, nor am I a saint.
I cannot build great monuments to embellish your estate.
I had so many chances to be.

Who will listen to my pleading if you are asleep?
All of my shallowness; my mind so incomplete.
I had so many chances to be.

Humour me one time, and then just let me be.
Hope says she’ll wait for me, if she can find her keys.
I had so many chances to be.
