Meant To Be

(lyrics by Linda McCarthy, music by Rick Quimby)

First I took the gamble, then I felt the rumble

Then I took the long way home

Had enough of hollows, hanging from the gallows

I was on a road all wrong.

Never meant to find you, wasn’t really looking

Suddenly the pull was strong.

Chorus:

And you were right there

Where somebody’d left you

On time with no clock at all

Hand out as if you’d been waiting

What could I do?

What could I do but fall?

Living with a false hope, dancing on a tight rope

Got to be a long way down

Feeling like a houseguest, settling for much less

Stranger in my own hometown

Don’t know how you found me

Balancing the boundry

Or what made me turn around…

[Chorus]

Life was in a tailspin, I was in a no win

Situation flying blind

No controls to guide me, something deep inside me

Begging for a clear cut sign

Letting go of caution, tossing in a lost wind

Never dreaming I would find

Last Chorus:

That you’d be right there

Where somebody’d left you

On time with no clock at all

Hand out as if you’d been waiting

What could I do?

What could I do but fall?

…but fall?
