Unfamiliar Circumstances

Unfamiliar Circumstances
© 2008 Martha Ann Brooks

Look at me
On my own I’m tryin’ to find a star that I can follow
I have changed
“When will I be wise” is the hardest question I know

Love reaches out
I want to grab ahold but I don’t find it easy anymore
Careful now
Friendly face might be a hungry tiger just behind the door
Or something more

Chorus:
These unfamiliar circumstances
Wonder if I’ll take a chance
I’m not as reckless as I used to be
I believe in true love, don’t I
Cross my heart and give it a try
Que sera and find out what will be
Absolutely, positively there is no guarantee
On the other hand, atrophy is not for me

Love makes a fool
Had my fill then suddenly I’ve found myself without it
What would you do?
Should I put my trust in love or leave some room to doubt it

What happens now
It’s up to me I guess whether or not I want to gamble
Restless and tired,
Tired of hacking through all of the baggage and the brambles
Of lives in shambles

Repeat Chorus:
