Predestination, not a thing that you'd plan Misunderstanding, or a line in the sand Thunder & lightning, did God have a hand Wasn't it frightening, wasn't it sad Would it have mattered, it the timing was bad Something surprising, or nothing so sad A night at the Wiskey, or was I just mad Was it intended, why was I so glad Was it so lovely, did it seem real Was there a purpose, I just can't tell you
It was always darkness, time was never on your side That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light
Something is a happening, nothing ain't right I've been a waiting, a waiting all night Is it on purpose, who know if you might I'm biting my nails, right through to the bone I seem to be dripping my blood on the phone
It was always darkness, time was never on your side That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light
If I could tell you I might as well If it was heard, the honest word But you should know, like no one knows The words, just can't be heard
Now it don't matter, it's too late to care It's something you'd saviour, leave up in the air You can't criticise it, it wouldn't be fair You couldn't do that, you'd be such a bore It's only the thinking, that altered the score
It was always darkness, time was never on your side That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light
