Another Chance

I’m walking beneath midnight skies 

Looking for a shore

A sanctuary city

A place I’ve never been before

Where open arms will welcome me

No matter who I’ve been

Where the love of a woman embraces me

And I feel at home again

‘Cause I can’t fix the things I’ve broke

No matter how I try

And second chances are rare things

They’re in short supply

And her tears that fed the river

Have all floated to the sea

And retrieving the sadness that went with them’s

An impossibility

So I’m looking for a new star

One to point the way

To another chance at happiness

I’ll try not to throw away
