Fate's Cruel Hand

There's a leaf in the sky
And it's floating on by
A new season dawns
But something is gone, oh

There are days in the past
And days waiting for me
I don't need a visionary
In order to see

You can do what you want to me
'Cause I don't have the energy
To retreat or hold ground or barely to stand
But I feel the sting from fate's cruel hand, oh

Like a bond true and pure
We're never quite sure
Our choice in the play
It erodes away

When you can't, can't compete
It ends with total defeat
You just let it go
So nobody knows you're suffering

You can do what you want to me
'Cause I don't have the energy
To retreat or hold ground or barely to stand
Oh, but I feel the sting from fate's cruel hand

Hand, hand, hand
Hand, hand, hand
Hand, hand, hand
