Someone Up There

We walked out one autumn evening

Someone up there made a fair appear

Coloured light that caught our eyes

And reggae music caught our ears

We laughed as they played all the songs

We wanted least of all to hear

I guess that's when I knew

That we'd be more than just good friends

It happened just by chance

Someone up there - someone up there makes the sun and sea

Someone up there - someone up there brought my girl to me

Someone up there - someone up there makes the wind and rain

Someone up there - someone up there took her back again

And just for once

You can't fight back

No messing with the hand of fate

Oh no

The paper ran an ad

That had you running to the other side of town

Working for a man I never could make out

Who started hanging round

Someone up there got me drinking got me drunk

And made me put him down

The way you looked at me I knew

That we'd be coming to an end

It happened just by chance

Someone up there - someone up there makes the sun and sea

Someone up there - someone up there brought my girl to me

Someone up there - someone up there makes the wind and rain

Someone up there - someone up there took her back again

And just for once

You can't fight back

No messing with the hand of fate

Oh no
