Emmylou Harris Tragedy Lyrics

Tragedy Lyrics

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
