Latched on to you
You had the view
I was so new
Needed to do more
I found the right door

You had it down
Feet on the ground
Turned me around
I matched your spirit
We both could hear it

In the summer rain
You shared your pain
So much to gain
You’re not on your own
You found a new home

I had someone else
Not by myself
You’re on the shelf
Just biding your time
Soon it would be fine

She was going to go to school
You were gonna play it cool
Waiting for your chance to come
You were gonna make us one

Carried on our work together
Nothing could have made it better
It was such a perfect time
All the stars aligned

When the time came you jumped in
Nothing like where I had been
Fate had made a plan for us
I was riding on that bus

Moved away to parts unknown
Tried to make that place our home
Couldn’t find a place to play
Had to give up on that day

Made a booking months ahead
They were paying decent bread
Traveled back there to play that gig
Something happened that was big

Folks from A&M were there
Scouting for some talent where
They would fly us to LA
And record us as we play

Nothing came of that first trip
Only plans for more of it
Hooted at the Troubadore
Capitol Records had more

Demo in the studio
Russ and Leland got to go
Producer of Piano Man
Record in our hand

Just our luck a merger came
Gone our little piece of fame
VP contact lost his job
Our big chance got robbed

One last concert and hit the road
Sad trip in a minor mode
All that chasing made me blind
Lost the life I left behind
