[00:03.62]Ron ***smith [00:07.28]Ghost Of A Chance [00:11.38]Exit Strategy Of The Soul [00:14.99] [00:20.35]With the graceful and grotesque the morning rings [00:27.46]Hear the garbage truck roll by [00:30.55]Hear the birds begin to sing [00:33.35]Their song of love and praise [00:36.99]And may their happy sound [00:40.23]Be strong enough to raise [00:43.62]Our spirits off the ground [00:48.70]Or love don't stand a ghost of a chance [00:58.72] [01:05.38]I'm on the trail of a storm and everywhere I look [01:12.16]Appear the ones that life has torn [01:15.49]Like pages from a book [01:17.95]Left to soldier on [01:21.62]No shoulder for to lean I'd be lost without a song [01:28.06]But if your love wasn't there for me [01:33.15]I just wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance [01:45.02] [01:50.90]From where I sit [01:52.10]There's too many eyes crying tears [01:55.57]Too many lives living in fear [01:58.81]Wondering where their sweet dreams have all gone [02:05.26]Too many hands stirring the pot In a land of haves and have-nots All wondering why it's all gone wrong [02:18.09] [02:30.24]Now as the ballet and burlesque commence to play [02:36.92]Give to me the strength to act [02:40.18]And not look the other way [02:42.80]For there's a war outside [02:46.60]Can't take it lying down [02:49.68]Got to look it in the eye [02:53.35]We've got to stand our ground [02:57.62]Or love don't stand a ghost of a chance [03:07.82]Love don't stand a ghost of a chance [03:19.47]
