Becky's playing a piece by on her old piano been playing since her childhood, "too long to recall..." But the chords fall from her fingertips, are the same She played when she could barely sit still, in `69, When the keys her hands look small
And she built her around symphonies and concertos Around traveling the country, and playing the halls Four kids later the dreams reduced to "what-if" scenarios But hey, to never dream is to have lived at all Never at all
Dave's a corporate lawyer in the of chicago And for years, he's had his nose to the old grindstone Poured his in the bank to feed the beast called portfolio Well, if is money then success is a life alone

Never at all
The great american sits on top of peter's kitchen table 300 on a town he built inside of his head He signs the page, uncorks the bottle with the dusty label Pours his wife a glass, she says "baby, bring the to bed"
At 6 am out fighting the cars on the freeway And fighting his manuscript, has he his own downfall? But embrace rejection, he'll kiss the seal of each envelope Better to live in hope than to never have at all To live at all live at all
