[Chorus]
It wasn't to be, or we’d be walking in the same room
It wasn't to be, or we'd be standing the same ground
It wasn’t to be, or we'd be drinking from the wells of the world
Or living in each other's shadow
[Verse 1]
The same sun, the same sun that rises on you
Leaves me here in sorrow
The same sun in the sky that smiles on you
Smiles on me tomorrow
[Chorus]
It wasn't to be, or you'd be standing next to me
It wasn't to be, you could wish for nothing finer
It wasn't to be, or we'd be drinking from the wells of the world
Or living in each other’s shadow
[Verse 2]
And would we go, would we go together love?
Or would we go way down alone?
Would we go climbing the rocks by the seashore?
Or follow one another home?
[Chorus]
It wasn’t to be, or you'd be standing next to me
It wasn’t to be, you could wish for nothing finer
It wasn't to be, or we'd be drinking from the wells of the world
Or living in each other's shadow
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And what will we do with our houses and our lands, love?
What will we do with our dreams and our towers?
Lay them bare to the birds of the air
And go far from one another
[Chorus]
It wasn’t to be, or we'd be walking in the same room
It wasn't to be, or we'd be standing the same ground
It wasn't to be, or we'd be drinking from the wells of the world
Or living in each other's shadow
[Chorus]
It wasn't to be, or we'd be walking in the same room
It wasn't to be, or we'd be standing the same ground
It wasn't to be, or we'd be drinking from the wells of the world
Or living in each other's shadow
