Tragedy Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

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...
