Richard Thompson - Her Love Was Meant For Me

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Gypsy
{thing?} twists my love life
She's my soul and destiny
Three times I turned the queen of hearts
But her love was meant for me

{Verse 2}
Cupid shoots just like a baby
Her Romeo won’t let her be
Shoot them darts in my direction
Her love was meant for me

{Chorus 1}
As a kid, I saw rainbows
But life, it turns you upside down
It shakes the money out of your Wranglers
Leave you heaving on the ground

{Verse 3}
Oh I've followed all the prophecies
From sea to shining sea
She came to me walking backwards
Her love was meant for me

{Instrumental}

{Chorus 2}
Now she's mine, I plan to keep her
So put your eyes back in their sockets
Your paws off the upholstery
Put your hands back in their pockets

{Verse 4}
Oh she doesn’t look at you, brother
The way she looks at me
Like a razor through a scarecrow
Her love was meant for me

{Instrumental}

{Verse 5}
Don't need a ticket for the future
The apocalypse is free
Armageddon's in the mirror
Her love was meant for me (love was meant for me)
Her love was meant for me
