Chance Lyrics by Big Country
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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

Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head
That you never knew you were young
Because 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
...
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      Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head   That you never knew you were young   Because 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   ...
