Fate Intertwined Slow

(Verse 1)

The clock on the mantel is dragging its feet

While the rain on the window is starting to beat

I'm untangling threads from a sweater you wore

Finding the pieces I've missed here before

(Chorus)

We were two rivers that crashed into one

Now I'm just tracing where the damage was done

Oh, it’s a fate intertwined

Moving so slow

Like a vine in the garden that won’t let go

We’re knotted together in the dark of a world

I’d cut myself loose if I only could

But every heartbeat is a pull on the line

Of a life that is yours and a soul that is mine

(Verse 2)

The tea's gone cold in the palm of my hand

Like a story we wrote that didn't go as planned

I see your reflection in the glass of the door

A ghost of a feeling I can't ignore

(Bridge)

They say time is a healer, but time is a thief

Who leaves us the tangle of love and of grief

Is it a blessing, or is it a curse?

To know every chapter and every verse

Of a song that we started but never will end

Around every corner, around every bend

(Chorus)

Oh, it’s a fate intertwined

Moving so slow

Like a vine in the garden that won’t let go

We’re knotted together in the dark of a world

I’d cut myself loose if I only could

But every heartbeat is a pull on the line

Of a life that is yours and a soul that is mine

(Outro)

Still pulling...

The knot is still tight

Through the long shadow...

Into the night.
