(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
|
Some people need to know what to expect
|
Need to keep control, need to keep one step
|
Ahead of every chance, as if chance decides
|
Who it's gonna pass, who it will reward
|
They don't understand, chances don't keep score
|
They just find us when we're there to find
|
|
And so this has to be, a sudden gift of fate
|
you're nothing less to me than a sudden gift of fate
|
It's not as if it comes down to your turn that someone somewhere feels you've earned
|
You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate
|
|
Some people have never been the lonely kind
|
Never called a friend in the middle of the night
|
Just to hear a voice say it's okay
|
And now I hear you speak each and every word
|
That I didn't think lonely people heard
|
You took a long night and turned it into day
|
|
And so this has to be, a sudden gift of fate
|
you're nothing less to me than a sudden gift of fate
|
Its not as if it comes down to your turn that someone somewhere feels you've earned
|
You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate
|
|
You can celebrate, gifts are never late
|
You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate
|
