Lyrics
Her eyes were shaded by the brim of a brown straw hat,
That's as much as I remember.
I tried to explain, but she said,
"Baby, you don't know the half."
I'm in no position to defend her.
Chorus:
Maybe you're lost
What are the chances, even for the chosen few
Give the coin a toss
Think of Everything
A voice is calling, rising, falling,
but you can't tell from just how far away.
You're left to contend, maybe at your wit's end
You know what they say about all work and no play.
He settled back for a moment just to find his strength, then headed out the way came.
Having made it all this way, he thought, it feels ao strange.
Equal parts of pride and shame
He was wrong and she was right.
Still, she decided just to hold her tongue.
She could choose then to fight the good fight.
Or steady the ladder he climbed, rung by rung.
Once upon a time, a man lived where there was no kindness, love or laughter.
Being as that was all he knew, he never learned to want more.
And still lived happily ever after.
