Story Behind The Song

The sandhill cranes lured me to the San Luis Valley for the first time. I had no idea I would be here to stay.

Lyrics

None of us know what's to come
I am used to not knowing
The waiting, the waiting's ok
Maybe you'll understand when I say

What are the odds
Of meeting one day
On an ordinary day
In each of our lives

What are the odds
I'd look back on that day
And still hear your voice
And the odds of me knowing
That something had changed

In a place I'd never been
Since and before
In a place I'd never heard of
Til a few days before

We had one brief chance
And somehow we took it
Without knowing why
Without knowing we had
And somehow that feeling
Lasted all of this time

Days and days would come to pass
Your voice having gone, gone and come back
This time when I looked into your eyes
My heart recognized that it was you
We danced to the beat of some far away truth

I remember when you said to me
It's easy to find someone for the company
It's harder to wait for the sweetness of song
If you can just hold on in the silence
Leave room for grace to come

What are the odds
Of meeting one day
On an ordinary day
In each of our lives

And what are the odds
That you'd hear me say
I'll cherish the days
However many there are

You have nothing to fear
Let your heart lead the way
Keer e loo keer e loo
I will sing softly your way
