WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

what are the odds
that I'd see you here so far from home
and hear my name sound the same?
you left so long ago
well isn't it odd
to meet under such different stars?
but when you laugh it's like the past
never got very far
I'll be gone by tomorrow
that's enough for today

when I'm all hung up on the ties that bind I turn my face to the wall
with the broken hearts and family ties you're the people I love most of all
what are the odds?

I met a man
at the CBC in Charlottetown
and he was on the boat that brought my folks
to this homeland they found
and he was gone by tomorrow
that was enough for today

to get me all hung up on the ties that bind so I turned my face to the wall
with the broken hearts and family ties you're the people I love most of all
what are the odds?

I'm different now
just as different as waves in the sea
and I'll be gone by tomorrow
is that enough for today?

when I'm all hung up on the ties that bind let me turn my face to the wall
with the broken hearts and family ties you're the people I love most of all
what are the odds?
