Tragedy lyrics

Artist  : Emmylou Harris 
Song : Tragedy
 


Some say it's destiny
Whether triumph or
tragedy
But I believe we cast our nets out on
the sea
And nothing we gather
Comes for
free

I would have paid down through the
years
A price beyong rubies beyond tears
To
keep you safe with me
But your suspicion and
your fear
Your vow to let nobody near was your
trinity
Such a tragedy

I drew the best
hand you'd ever hold
Then cashed my winnings
in long ago
Settled for silver how could I
know
You were waiting with the gold

I
could have caused your heart to yield
But I
was only a disturbance in the field
Of your
dreams
And I will never see you cry
You
won't be with me when I die
A waste of you and
me
A tragedy

We took the wrong train
to
Kingdom come now
No more damage
Can
be done baby
It's just what the world don't
need
It's another stinkin
tragedy

That's how the story goes
Our
chapter's coming to a close
We are
history
But I will always think of
you
Every day until my days are through
You
made me believe
In tragedy
