Chance, chance, chance, chance



Friday bank card yours got stuck

I loaned you a phone quarter, said "Good luck"

Where are you now?



Me and glasses Saturday slump

You and your shopping, I looked up

Our eyes met, mine are green

You'd had a peroxide thing

Call now, look me up



Sunday walk, Weaver's Park,

I was on the lakeside

Where the playgrounds meet

In bare feet

You said, "Mighty cold today"

You never see what I think

You didn't like your daytime job

I was born to travel



You were a camera, I dropped my keys

I'm on the northbound, you were asleep

I said, "Are you holding?"

"You wanna ride the silent sky?"

I wrote a story on the fly

You in the tabletop

I said, "I've had enough of the city."



I held a bag of apples

You at the last table

I had had a soy dog

Cafe streetside, Tuesday bloom

You wanna be on fire, I said I hung the moon



Wednesday grocery, corner of Vine,

You were in the checkout line

I dropped my frozen dinners, you helped pick them up



Thursday cab rush, our block,

You with broken accent, my heart stopped

You laughed, I worry



Chance, chance, chance, chance

Swarming like a dozen crushing blows

All those glances, midtime dances

Chance



I never looked it up

You hit the sidewalk talking

Said, "I'd read the ads"

Do you?

Where are you? Will you read this? Can I see?

This is surely moving faster than I can think



A minute shy, a passing eye

I know I saw you there

Will you read this? Can I see? What did I see?

Chance, chance, chance, chance

Swimming like a dozen crushing blows

All those midtime dances

Chance



Guys, this is very tedious... stop
