Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

She Said It Was Destiny

Is this the togetherness she meant - so rosy

I thought we’d share a continent - so cosy

I thought love’s passions really

Would be more touchy-feely

She said it was Destiny

She said it was written somewhere

But if it was destiny

Why am I over here and she’s over there

She said it was in the stars

Something that just had to be

But Venus aligned with Mars

Always really takes it out of me

O I’m not proud of my deceit - you know that

To come so near and then retreat - you know that

One beat before I fell

Somewhere I heard a bell - ring, ring

She said it was Destiny

She said it was written somewhere

But if it was destiny

Why am I over here and she’s over there

There’s clouds across my crystal ball - too misty

Was I too quick to give it all - when she kissed me

She’s thrown a net on me

Razor wire geometry

She said it was Destiny

She said it was written somewhere

But if it was destiny

Why am I over here and she’s over there

She said it was in the stars

Something that just had to be

But Venus aligned with Mars

Always really takes it out of me
