Lyrics Sudden Gift Of Fate - Mary Chapin Carpenter
Some
people
need
to
know
what
to
expect
Need
to
keep
control,
need
to
keep
one
step
Ahead
of
every
chance,
as
if
chance
decides
Who
it′s
gonna
pass,
who
it
will
reward
They
don't
understand,
chances
don′t
keep
score
They
just
find
us
when
we're
there
to
find
And
so
this
has
to
be,
a
sudden
gift
of
fate
You're
nothing
less
to
me
than
a
sudden
gift
of
fate
It′s
not
as
if
it
comes
down
to
your
turn
that
someone
somewhere
feels
you′ve
earned
You
just
learn
to
wait
for
sudden
gifts
of
fate
Some
people
have
never
been
the
lonely
kind
Never
called
a
friend
in
the
middle
of
the
night
Just
to
hear
a
voice
say
it's
okay
And
now
I
hear
you
speak
each
and
every
word
That
I
didn′t
think
lonely
people
heard
You
took
a
long
night
and
turned
it
into
day
And
so
this
has
to
be,
a
sudden
gift
of
fate
You're
nothing
less
to
me
than
a
sudden
gift
of
fate
Its
not
as
if
it
comes
down
to
your
turn
that
someone
somewhere
feels
you′ve
earned
You
just
learn
to
wait
for
sudden
gifts
of
fate
You
can
celebrate,
gifts
are
never
late
You
just
learn
to
wait
for
sudden
gifts
of
fate
