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 beyond 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 --- Tragedy - Emmylou Harris
