GHOST OF A CHANCE
GHOST OF A CHANCE
I thought I'd try something a bit different this month, so I'm playing some harmonica. Thanks to Alan White for the 'chances' idea.

Lyrics::
Walking by the river, crossing a stile
Ramblers trudging for mile after mile
Stopping for stragglers who fall behind
It’s good to be able to clear a muddy mind
Found myself drifting to way back when
And the chances I’ve thrown away
Now I was on my own again
And that seemed to be the way that things would stay
They’re just talking trivia, avoiding the news
It’s all off limits, they’ve got too much to lose
But I don’t want to hear about the rights and the wrongs
So I’ll keep my own counsel, and I’ll just keep strolling along
Found myself drifting to way back when
And the chances I’ve thrown away
Now I was on my own again
And that seemed to be the way that things would stay
It was only a moment, just a flick of her hair
It was enough to take me, who knows where
A turn of her head, a shy little glance
It may be nothing, but it may be the ghost of a chance
It may be nothing, but it may be the ghost of a chance
Lovely and waltzy. Love the idea of “clearing a muddy mind” during a ramble (presumably also muddy..). And the final line is beautifully wistful.
Commented on FB but I’m in awe of 2 instruments being played at the same time and enjoyed the gentle build up to the last moments of the song
Wonderful Paul – great song, lovely guitar and harmonica and as always such engaging lyric ?
Paul I loved this. I found myself nodding in agreement with you in time with the song. Your lyrics are always so thoughtful.
Great song, Paul. Really nice melody throughout. Voted!
