Sudden Gift Of Fate Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

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
