Chase down your passion
like it's the last bus of the night.
– Terri Guillemets
Joni Mitchell
"Last Chance Lost" from Turbulent Indigo
Last chance lost—
In the tyranny of a long good-bye.
Last chance lost—
We talk of us with deadly earnest eyes.
Last chance lost—
We talk of love in terms of sacrifice and compromise.
Last chance—
Last chance lost.
Last chance lost—
The hero cannot make the change.
Last chance lost—
The shrew will not be tamed.
Last chance lost—
They bicker on the rifle range;
Blame takes aim.
Last chance—
Last chance lost.
