Tragedy — текст песни (Emmylou Harris)

(Emmylou Harris/Rodney Crowell)

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
