Destiny Lyrics - Tarnation

There's something I must tell you, 

There's one thing you must know : 

Green is the color I remember on the hills of long ago. 

I was told to be watchful, 

I was told to beware. 

For something in the way that he spoke showed he didn't care. 

Suddenly, things are not as they ought to be and I know that it's destiny. 

Destiny, and just like before, 

I yearn for a return to the way things used to be. 

He stood out in the shadows, 

He was not one to explain 

Then he moved past the trees, a distant figure against the green terrain. 

Suddenly, things are not as they ought to be and I know that it's destiny. 

Destiny, and just like before, 

I yearn for a return to the way things used to be. 

Out there stands a manzanita, 

Underneath there lies a stone, 

Without a name or a symbol, 

Fading in the waiting light alone.
