Description
As I wrote this song, I could almost hear Joyce and The Hooligans doing their magic. When I finished writing it I knew either I get them on this record or I pack it in and go back home to Newport. I called Bill Graham and he located Joyce and the girls. I had to go up to Mill Valley to Mike Bloomfield's house. He was throwing a party. I knocked on the door and Joyce answered. I wasn't too sure if she was glad to see me. I asked her to come on the porch. I played the song for her. She gave me that "Joyce Look" of hers... and the next day we were in the studio. Here is the finished product. Joyce and the girls, thanks for helping me out on this most personal song. Everyone out there, thanks for buying the record.

Lyrics
Didn't See It Coming
By Clay Potts
For years
I have known her
I've thought about her
Now I can't live without her
How
Could this happen
Didn't see it coming
I feel like running away
Punishing myself for what I'm feeling
The dread
The repercussions
Create obstructions
My head is reeling
True
My heart is racing
But what I'm facing
May have hidden meanings
Am I in love this time or am I just angry again
Short Break
Bridge
Now should be a joyous time, embracing something so divine
Receptive to what's in my blood, she's nothing to be frightened of
Music flowing thru my veins, was constantly flushed down the drain
It can work more miracles for me than any church full of saints
Should
I be grateful
For reappraisals
And gentle whispers
The pathway to my heart is complicated
Still
This crazed obsession
Here's the question
Is this really what it seems?
Bridge
Now should be a joyous time, embracing something so divine
Receptive to what's in my blood, she's nothing to be frightened of
Music flowing thru my veins, was constantly flushed down the drain
It can work more miracles for me than any church full of saints
Loss
Though so depressing
Is a mixed blessing?
A step down a new road
Don't apologize before your accused
It's not what you do, but what you don't do
The course of love never runs smooth
