    Story Behind the Song
    I've always liked the styles and sounds of the 40's swing era. I wanted to come up with a song that captured that style in a contemporary way, and produce a record that's good for dancing and listening. I worked out the arrangement in my car while driving back and forth to work. The instrumental parts seemed to almost write themselves and were recorded quickly. The vocal tracks took longer, as I worked carefully on the harmonies in order to achieve just the right sound.

    Lyrics
    Is this lovers leap/Are you rolling in clover/When the girl of your dreams is somebody else's dream
    Your conscience runs deep/But desire runneth over/When the wife of a friend is tired of her wife routine
    And you hear her voice/You smell the perfume as she walks in the room with a choice/Not easy to make
    She pours you a drink/And then you have another/And you know it's insane/The voice in your soul complains
    But you laugh and think/You're like so many others/Just a victim of lust/The tiger that can't be tamed
    And you see her face/You want her so much now you're feeling her touch/And the prize is there for the take

    (Chorus) You took the ride now you're lost in the limbo of love/No place to hide now you're lost in the limbo of love

    You rolled the dice now you're lost in the limbo of love/You pay the price now you're lost in the limbo of love

    Is this lovers leap/Are you rolling in clover/When the girl of your dreams is somebody's broken dream
    Your conscience runs deep/And it's working you over/Is the prize that you've won worth all that you've done and schemed
    And you hear her voice/You smell the perfume as she walks in the room/With a choice/So easy to make

    (Chorus)
