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
