ONE MORE CHANCE
©Kev Gray 2008 All Rights Reserved
You were 16, through on goal
Last game of the season, decider for the throne
The sun shone that morning, with glory in your mind
You ran there smiling all the way
As Fate was always kind…
You looked up at the keeper – enemy in love
Sweetheart by the sidelines swore she loved you both
But the angels were on his side that day
You hit the ball low and hard but he made the wondersave
And the whistle blew, the whistle blew
And everyone looked - and blamed you
One more chance
You cried and cried inside: Give me one more chance
Too many years later you saw them in the pub
A sparkle on her finger, he slept on his club
But she was no the angel that day
Took you for a dance, kissed you hard, whispered in your ear:
Wish he was you, wish he was you
As he awoke - and the fists flew
As you saw the stars, in one last glance
You swore she winked in semaphore: Give me one more chance
In carpe diem, shoot those who hesitate
But fools rush in… the great debate
Some live a life of What Ifs, some Je ne regrette rien
When Lady Luck comes smiling, just grab her while you can
A few months later an envelope arrived
A cordial invitation to watch them down the aisle
The congregation waited, as you stood there in the rain
You grabbed her hand, she turned and smiled, and you made the Great Escape
And the tyre blew, the tyre blew
And the angels looked down - and weighed you
Just one last chance
Spinning round and round you cried: Give me one more chance
And a voice said:
You know I tried my hardest to give you everything
Lovers, Persian carpets - it’s right there on a plate
But all I seem to hear is people curse their fate
Why am I so unlucky, I never listened to the snake…
But one more chance, you ask me now for one more chance
So take it here it comes your one last chance…
You’ll hear its footsteps coming
So remember, for the lovers in this world there’s always one more chance
You’ll hear its footsteps coming
For the fighters in this world always one more chance
Always one last chance
