It May Never Happen

(album: Room With A View - 1980)

Some people have a way of making
Unnecessary heart-aching
They see the world as a black cloud waiting to rain
Always anticipating
Forever speculating
Look for the rainy shore, rain is gonna find you

Why do they walk on the dark side instead of in the sun?
A coward dies a thousand times, but the brave man, only one

'Cause it may never happen
The bottom line is (It may never happen)
People can't define it (It may never happen)
Take it as you find it (It may never happen)

Life is much too short for worry
The gambler knows the score
To take a chance on the moment, though he never knows for sure
So many things to live for
If you have eyes to see
So many ships to look for on a blue horizon

Why do they walk on the dark side instead of in the sun?
A coward dies a thousand times, but the brave man, only one

'Cause it may never happen
The bottom line is (It may never happen)
People can't define it (It may never happen)
Take it as you find it (It may never happen)

There is no way of knowing
The shape of things to come
If you cry all day, then there ain't no way
You're ever gonna be what you could become
You're ever gonna be what you could become

'Cause it may never happen
The bottom line is (It may never happen)
People can't define it (It may never happen)
Take it as you find it (It may never happen)

It may never happen
It may never happen
It may never happen
It may never happen
