Mary Chapin Carpenter - Sudden Gift Of Fate Lyrics

(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 Mary Chapin Carpenter Lyrics Sudden Gift Of Fate Lyrics
