lyrics

When I was young I never wondered what my life would bring
I thought I knew that I could do or be just anything
I had the world in my hands …….but for circumstance
A good career and every year a rise in salary
A pretty wife to share my life, a perfect family
I’d be the lord of the dance….but for circumstance
All that we know and all we can show
Are not what they seemed in all of our hopes and our dreams

I moved around from town to town to find my destiny
But never seemed to turn my dreams into reality
I had it all in my plans…..but for circumstance

Another day goes on its way and leaves no trace behind
I have a drink and sit and think of what I’d hoped to find
I could have taken my chance…..but for circumstance

After an absence of nearly 40 years, Tommy Keyes returns with a stockpile of great songs that defy categorisation. Rock? Pop? “It’s 1970s singer-songwriter music”, he says, “because that’s what I am.”
