Chance lyrics

All the rain came down

On a cold new town

As he carried you away

From your father's hand

That always seemed like a fist

Reaching out to make you pay

He came like a hero from the factory floor

With the sun and moon as gifts

But the only son you ever saw

Were the two he left you with

Oh, Lord, where did the feeling go?

Oh, Lord, I never felt so low

Well, the skirts hang so heavy around your head

That you never knew you're young

But you played chance with a lifetime's romance

And the price was far too long

Oh, Lord, where did the feeling go?

Oh, Lord, I never felt so low

Oh, Lord, where did the feeling go?

Oh, Lord, I never felt so low

Oh, Lord, where did the feeling go?

Oh, Lord, I never felt so low
