Hand of Chance

Drop

One more dance

One more dance

Verse 1

He sat in the summer sun

Watching pages fly away

White paper drifting through a villa garden

Nobody wanted the story he had built

Hard words on a folded sheet

Cold ink saying no

He let the salt air take the heavy weight

Empty pockets feeling lighter now

Pre-Chorus

Walked out to the street

Followed where the shadow goes

Found a vendor in the harbor light

Looking for a gamble

Chorus

Oh the fates play games with a man and a pen

They take it away then return it again

A slip of a number

A twist in the dance

Turns dust into fire

Fire by the hand of chance

Oh the hand of chance

Drop

Hand of chance

Hand of chance

Hand of chance

Give it one more dance

Verse 2

The number sat in his dark coat

A secret piece of blue paper

Quiet luck waiting under the stars

Fate doesn't ask it simply chooses

A town far away calls out

No critics standing in the tall grass

Silence has a brand new name

A garden where the clock stops moving

Pre-Chorus

No more deadlines tonight

No more need to pretend

Find a ticket to the border line

Looking for a gamble

Chorus

Oh the fates play games with a man and a pen

They take it away then return it again

A slip of a number

A twist in the dance

Turns dust into fire

Fire by the hand of chance

Oh the hand of chance

Drop

Fire by the hand of chance

Hand of chance

One more dance

One more dance

Bridge

Maybe he stays

Maybe he goes

Maybe he lives where the river flows

One more dance

One more chance

One more story to write

Chorus

Oh the fates play games with a man and a pen

They take it away then return it again

A slip of a number

A twist in the dance

Turns dust into fire

Fire by the hand of chance

Oh the hand of chance
