Second Chance Songtext
von Kurt Nilsen

The sand′s runnin' through my fingers and this desert never ends
I′m out here on my forgiveness round, walkin' down the devil's steps
My hands are sore as wounds and my body is dryin′ out
I′m takin' one step at a time, so I won′t fall and break my spine

Oh, I know I can't change the hands of time
Yeah, I know I can′t take back what was mine
As I walk the walk of shame, I got no one else to blame
Oh, I know now what a fool I've been

So take me back to Eden Garden
So I could live out my dreams with you
Oh, take me back, I′ll redeem my sins
I'm a better man, I know that now
So give me a second chance

You could judge me if you want, but you know you've made your point
While I′m sitting′ here, in the center's lounge, waitin′ on a recall
My feet's got ball and chains on and there′s no one to take 'em off
I get restless and confused ′cause you're puttin' me on hold


Oh, I know I can′t change the hands of time
Yeah, I know I can′t take back what was mine
As I walk the walk of shame, I got no one else to blame
Oh, I know now what a fool I've been

So take me back to Eden Garden
So I could live out my dreams with you
Take me back, I′ll redeem my sins
I'm a better man, I know that now
So give me a second chance
Give me a second chance

Oh, I know I can′t change the hands of time
Yeah, I know I can't take back what was mine
As I walk the walk of shame, I got no one else to blame
Oh, I know now what a fool I′ve been (oh)

So take me back to Eden Garden
So I could live out my dreams with you
Oh, take me back, I'll redeem my sins
I'm a better man, I know that now
I′m a better man, I know that now
I′m a better man, I know that now
So give me a second chance


Hee, hee, hee
Won't you give me a second chance? (Whoo!)
Oh, oh, ho, oh-oh, oh
Ooh-hoo
Yeah
