Story Behind The Song
Just a poem I wrote years ago, after a failed attempt at getting to know a woman I was interested in. Years later I wrote the music as a tribute to one of my favorite bands, Steely Dan. So, I put them together and here it is.

Lyrics
To never get the chance
A truth I do regret
No whirlwind romance
No passion as of yet
A spark can be seen
though no fuel to ignite
Time is the enemy
No chance to win this fight
If circumstance doesn't bring
Opportunities of desire
Born is a song to sing
Two hearts of potential fire
Such is the life lived so far
Missed the boat, missed the target
But then those eyes, shine through the dark
Telling me not to give up yet
So I sit here, and play my song
Simply trying to connect
I promise I won?t play too long
I won?t even rhyme anymore
( chorus )
If circumstance doesn't bring
Opportunities of desire
Born is a song to sing
Two hearts of potential fire
Solo?? spoken: I just wanna play now ( solo )
