i had decided long ago
i had decided long ago
that all my dreams won't pass me by
unless it was i that closed the door

somehow it all came to pass
somehow it all came to pass
that i arrived looking for understanding
because of a love i found at last

step in the city
intend to hold your hand
needed on the water
yet instead i found quicksand
wanted to hold you
down lovin' lane my sad friend
you had another
was disengaged from your plan

somehow it all came to pass
somehow it all came to pass
that i arrived wishing for understanding
because of a love i found at last

so here i am
here to stay
bet my last dollar
you'd come callin' back one day
do you think it matters baby
going on my way
i'm traveling light on midnight flights
the dirty south to Sante Fe

somehow it all came to pass
somehow it all came to pass
that i arrived looking for understanding
because of a love i found at last

somehow it all came to pass
somehow it all came to pass
from the divine depths of desire
you come to my mind and soul on fire
