Suprised By Joy Lyrics - Deacon Blue

There's a million reads that I'd not taken 

till you caught me with my eyes closed 

looking over my shoulder to see whats behind me 

I didn't see the promised land 

I fell back into your arms 

(its hard when you don't know) 

I was so suprised by the joy 

(it was all that I could do) 

to trust you with my life 

As the road goes on the paths get steaper 

a light begins to shine 

though I pass by and miss the turning 

you'd walk with me over the edge 

On the road and bound for glory 

but I'm a fool when I forget 

I'm on the route where travellers seldom meet 

its so easy to slip
