One of many of my songs to take its inspiration from my rather nomadic lifestyle!
lyrics
The Possibility of You
To lay it on the table,
To set the record straight,
The truth is I don’t ever want to
Settle in one place,
Born to roam this world,
I always dreamed of flying free,
Never being weighted down
With things I just don’t need.
Some lovers tried to mould me,
And bind my heart with chains,
Turn me into what I’m not,
Make me swear I’d stay,
But nobody’s gonna change me
Into who they think I am,
I’d sooner go through life alone
Than down that road again.
It never crossed my mind
Someone might change my point of view,
So very late to contemplate
The possibility of you.
They say nothing is impossible,
And I guess it must be true,
For the odds were close to zero
Of running into you,
A wandering soul, a lonesome heart,
Free spirited like me,
So many other places
Than that bar you could have been.
But thank God our worlds collided,
And thank God you caught my eye,
A glance led to a heart-to-heart,
A mirroring of minds,
That night we both found something
We’d never found before,
Two solitary travellers
Not lonesome anymore.
It never crossed my mind
Someone might change my point of view,
So very late to contemplate
The possibility of you.
Ooh, you hold me,
Ooh, so glad that we are more than friends,
Ooh, you showed me
You never know what’s waiting round the bend.
It never crossed my mind
Someone might change my point of view,
So very late to contemplate
The possibility of you,
The possibility of you,
The possibility of you.
