A song that’s mostly Jamie’s with Evelyn’s usual tidying up of the lyrics. It was actually inspired by looking out of the window and seeing the snow fall late one January afternoon in 2003. Just musing on the transitory nature of existence and making the most of it. It was the same week a friend of ours (Josanne) had sent us some photographs of her snowbound house in the mountains of Colorado. Colorado is one of those states with a lovely singable name - Stephen Stills made good use of it on the first Manassas album.
fated
Look out the
window
Look out the window see the snow
Falling like stars
Caught in
mid glow
I guess we’re fated
All of us fated,
To come and go.
Josanne sent pictures
O pretty
pictures,
Colorado
Her cabin in deep snow
I guess we’re fated,
All
of us fated
By what we know.
And I like the sun, I like the
rain
I like the way life’s just a game
We rise we fall we sink we
swim
And then the world begins again.
Watching the water
Watching the
water flowing past
A change in the air
Is coming at last
I guess we’re
fated,
All of us fated
To stand and stare.
