lyrics

I’ve been on the wrong side of fate
Stranded in the wilds beyond the city gates
I’ve stood on the wrong side of fate
Left out after dark with only my mistakes

You traced a line across my palm
Drawing with your fingers through my whole life long
Already written before I was born
Looming in my future, I have been forewarned
This ribbon stretches long a red
Straighter than an arrow but can it be bent?
Self defeating prophecy
Not gonna let it get to me


I’ve been on the wrong side of fate
Stranded in the wilds beyond the city gates
I’ve stood on the wrong side of fate
Left out after dark with only my mistakes

All you wanted was to move away
Out into the open you would stake your claim
But when that storm came blowing in
The scent of smoke on the wind
Your Mother told you that she knew
That just like her Mother you would follow suit
That this was just the family way
There is no, no escape

I’ve been on the wrong side of fate
Stranded in the wilds beyond the city gates
I’ve stood on the wrong side of fate
Left out after dark with only my mistakes

I stuck a feather in that page
Saving my place for another day
I watched it all just slip away
Holding, holding way too much weight

I’ve been on the wrong side of fate
Stranded in the wilds beyond the city gates
I’ve stood on the wrong side of fate
Left out after dark with only my mistakes
