Lyrics:
Tell you something 'bout a dream, baby
There ain't no turning back
And even if it's windmills that you're tilting at
You gotta ride and still attack
It could have been the lights, I suppose
But then it could have been something else
Still the boy had to try, with a look in his eye
That shone like a dime in a well
In a small town called Seduction
In the heart of the southern West
Someone's waiting patiently
For what she's sure she knows best
And who am I to try to change her mind
When she's sure that he'll return
And so love goes on right or wrong
You know, some people never learn
Chance--you take what you will
Spin the wheel and collect your thrill
You've got nothing to lose
Once you've placed your bet
So let it go--in reference to regret
Once I was young, once I could see forever
I guess once is all anyone gets
When it feels like everything's gonna happen now
Because nothing's happened yet
I guess it's even true, but there's nothing you can do
When something finally comes your way
And it only comes once in a while, single file
All at once is just for yesterday
Chance--you take what you will
Spin the wheel and collect your thrill
You've got nothing to lose
Once you've placed your bet
So let it go--in reference to regret
Nothing to factor in or figure out
You just take it as it comes
And it comes steadily, so be at ease
Peace is the gift time brings
Control never was
Chance--you take what you will
Spin the wheel and collect your thrill
You've got nothing to lose
Once you've placed your bet
So let it go--in reference to regret
