A Chance

I have but one affair
Just one to get in order
I have but one affair
She knows that I adored her

I wonder should I call
Drops splash my window pane
I wonder should I call
Wind spins the weathered vane

Again, alone I think
My thoughts are all so gray
Again, alone I think
No black and white today

I wonder should I write
Of depths that I fell in
I wonder should I write
My chances are so thin

What's it that I'm doing?
Just one last task for I
What's it that I'm doing?
I’ll give it one last try
