Tarnation - Destiny lyrics

There's something I must tell you There's one thing you must know : Green is the color I remember on the hills of long ago I was told to be watchful I was told to beware For something in the way that he spoke showed he didn't care Suddenly, things are not as they ought to be and I know that it's destiny Destiny, and just like before I yearn for a return to the way things used to be He stood out in the shadows He was not one to explain Then he moved past the trees, a distant figure against the green terrain Suddenly, things are not as they ought to be and I know that it's destiny Destiny, and just like before I yearn for a return to the way things used to be Out there stands a manzanita Underneath there lies a stone Without a name or a symbol Fading in the waiting light alone
