i planned, god laughs - terry scott taylor lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it’s another door slammed and bolted
it’s one more window locked
you were on your way back home and
now you’re not
with my fingers, i form a steeple
in such a way when i open my hands
there’s no one home
then i call your number
just to hear your message on the phone

[chorus 1]
maybe next month
maybe next year
oh my, oh my, it’s been a long, long time
i plan. god laughs
i plan. god laughs

[verse 2]
here’s another faded photo
in the year before things changed
i took hard that betrayal
of an old friend, now estranged
how could i be so mistaken?
why couldn’t i see in all that time
i’d been walking a wire?
or that i’d be one of many who got torched in his scorched-earth fire?

[chorus 2]
i thought by now
he’d come around
all would be forgiven ‘cos
love would break us down
i planned. god laughed
i planned. god laughed

[bridge]
the day is restless as a land-locked sailor
anxious to move on from old history
its baggage is ready and stacked
against the wall with a yellowing map
and it’s dreaming of the whispering sea

[verse 3]
“you’ll dig a hole to china”
said my younger days
“and die before you get old
go out in glory’s blaze”
i won’t be aloof like my father
rest his soul, or like my mother
worried about too many things
pull myself up by my boot-straps
be an optimistic dancer in the rain

[chorus 3]
maybe next week
sometime this year
these things don’t happen overnight
god plans. i laugh
god plans. i laugh
god plans. i laugh
god plans. i laugh
