Galvanized by a new sense of purpose and conviction,
nothing (save God's hand) would keep me from Boston,
or from following my feelings for Tammy wherever they
might lead. This is a slightly embellished fantasy.

NO HESITATION
Summer 1985, Brooklyn NY

This time I'm goin' with no hesitation
Bought a ticket to travel one way
She's only minutes away from the station
And as far as I know, she expects me to show up
   Sometime 'round five thirty today

This time I'm goin' with no hesitation
Leavin' no strings behind me untied
If I've been given the right information
She'll be waiting for me with her hair blowin' free
   And a welcome back home in her eyes

    And I know that I'm back for good
    Once I step off the train and hold her
    What I don't know is what she can possibly see in me
     But I'm leavin' the past behind

Tell me, how many chances at reborn romances
   Do fools like me get in one lifetime?

This time I'm goin' with no hesitation
Only distance between her and me
She can provide the right motivation
Causin' me to come runnin' through rain and hot sun an'
   Climb mountains and swim raging seas

This time I'm goin' with no hesitation
Got my ticket right here in my hand
And I can hardly conceal my elation
Oh, the hours I'm counting, my pulse rate is mounting
   I've had about all I can stand

    And I know that I'm back for good
    Once I step off the train and hold her
    What I don't know is what she can possibly see in me
     But I'm leavin' the past behind
