ANOTHER LIFE

 I’ve been talkin’ about a special lady
 The slightly older sister to my childhood friend
 I met her on a day trip down to Baltimore
 Was the beginning of the end
 I took a look at my life; something just wasn’t right
 Somebody’s in a hurry, somebody’s taking their time
 Frustrated ‘cause their sights are strayin’
 Tryin’ to wait for love to arrive
 She just can’t wait for my dream come true
 It’s a kind of change that we’re just not suited for
 And I know she’ll make someone a beautiful wife
 We’ll just have to save it for another life.
 So I tried to tell myself that it’s not so hard
 A thousand miles can’t be that far
 But only the wanted ever want to be free
 Sometimes it’s she, sometimes it’s me
 Somebody’s found somebody
 Somebody’s pride is on the line
 But there’s just too much distance, so far between us
 Can’t taste the fruit through the rind
 I took a good look at my life
 She could not come for the ride
 No use waiting, my Baltimore’s taken
 Heart could not take what my pride would not shake
 When I felt like she was the one
 But you cannot walk away from the road that you run to
 ‘Cause life’s full of pages with no chance to erase
 The choices that we make so don’t try to fake it
 I called her up to see if we could be friends
 She would not have it any other way
 Maybe we were meant to be in another life
 It might have happened to or three lives before
