Lyrics The Secret Handshake of Fate - JD Souther
If
the
world
was
flat
I'd
walk
off
the
edge
But
I
can't
'cause
it's
to
big
and
round
I
can
just
see
myself
Falling
through
space
Grateful
not
to
be
found.
Trouble
with
living
here
in
the
future
And
sailing
the
Dutchman's
sea
Is
the
trouble
with
love
in
the
present
tense
And
the
fear
of
eternity.
See
no
matter
where
you
are
You're
about
to
come
round
To
just
where
you've
already
been.
Don't
be
afraid
It
happens
to
people
And
then
it
happens
again
and
again.
Go
off
this
marble
Leave
something
here
For
somebody
else
but
you.
Awww
it's
a
pity
Most
folks
don't
realize.
If
the
world
was
safe
I'd
fly
in
my
sleep
Crashing
right
through
these
blue
walls.
Doubts
and
fears
would
rise
Like
a
duster
in
Texas
Cushion
my
deadly
fall.
The
problem
is
worse
If
you're
religious
What
keeps
your
head
in
its
place?
They
think
what
they
think
But
you
know
what
you
know
The
secrete
handshake
of
fate.
If
the
world
was
you
I'd
travel
extensively
Visiting
some
places
twice.
Scrambling
for
purchase
Wherever
it's
slippery
Against
all
and
any
advise.
I'd
sleep
upside
down
For
a
new
view
of
heaven
Dream
at
both
ends
of
the
night
All
through
the
middle
I'd
breathe
with
you
Knowing
we'd
be
all
right.
(Then
we'd
go)
Twisting
into
the
light.
