Lyrics
A Feathers Chance
Partin/Thomas
Copyright 2006
Looking back through the empty nest we once called our home
Lonley marks where the pictures hung and the shadows grow long
In the room where our love died four marks from our bed
Lay a feather from the pillow where you once lay your head
As I stare at the feather perfect in every way
Hair flow like the willow on a warm breezy day
I wonder what it may have witnessed if a feather could see
A feathers chance in a hurricane stood a better chance than me
Don't you worry about me - it's just a moment in time
Allow me to clear my mind...
I thought of picking up the feather I'd put it in my hat
But as I bent for the feather I felt a chill up my back
That's when I realized the feather was there to represent me
This feather made it through a hurricane I let the feather be
Don't you worry about me - it's just a moment in time
Allow me to clear my mind....
