about

A slightly ironic song about love and parting. The end of a romance: Two to one at six to four. Think about it.

lyrics

Six to four

I sat by the edge of the ocean
Watching the sun go down
Dreaming you were the woman
By my side
The moon rising over your shoulder
Stars throwing light in your hair
A love that can never grow old or
Be denied
Here’s to the fools and lovers
Who go dancing in the rain
Here’s to the hearts that never know despair
Here’s to the lost and lonely
Who learn to live with the pain
Here’s to the man who said he didn’t care
Then you were gone
Through that door
Two to one
At six to four
I’ve never been one for dancing
But music has fuelled my soul
I don’t take a lot of chances
With my heart
A love that was ever easy
A flame that just flickered and died
A bond that was made in Heaven
Fell apart
Then you were gone
Through that door
Two to one
At six to four
