DIVINE INTERVENTION 

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

MIDNIGHT CAME AND WENT

I WAITED THERE THERE TILL TWO

TWO O'CLOCK CAME AND WENT

AND WHERE WERE YOU

WALKING BACK WITH ONLY

 SILENCE FOR A FRIEND

GUESS YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND

MY LUCK RAN OUT AGAIN

MAYBE YOU THOUGHT I HAD

 NOTHING BETTER TO DO

THAN SIT AROUND HERE AFTER MIDNIGHT

WAITING FOR YOU

YOU UPSET THE NATURAL FLOW

WHEN YOU DIDN'T SHOW

NO EXCUSE WAS GIVEN

I DIDN'T HEAR FROM YOU AT ALL

I SHOULD OF KEPT ON ROLLING

I SHOULD OF KEPT ON GOING

BUT YOU CAUGHT MY EYE

AND MADE ME PAUSE FOR JUST A SECOND

GOT ME WONDERING WHY

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE

SOMEONE I SHOULD KNOW

BUT ALL THAT'S OKAY

I'LL TAKE IT AS SOME KIND

 OF DIVINE INTERVENTION 

AND A FEW OTHER THINGS

I WON'T MENTION

I'LL JUST KEEP RIDING ON

NEVER STOP ANYWHERE FOR TOO LONG

CAUSE EVERY TIME I DO

I WEAR OUT MY WELCOME

FIND MYSELF WALKING ALONE

AND MAYBE THAT'S

THE WAY THINGS WERE MEANT TO BE

SO I'LL KEEP RIDIN TILL I CAN'T NO MORE

ALL I KNOW FOR SURE

IS THE SUNRISE COMING

AND SETTING IN A WESTERN SKY

AND IF YOU WANT TO

SEE IT ALONE

THEN SO WILL I

SOMEONE ELSE NOT ME

CAN WHISPER IN YOUR EAR

TELL YOU THINGS

YOU MIGHT WANT TO HEAR

I'LL JUST KEEP ON GOING

NEVER KNOWING WHY

YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND

BUT I'LL TAKE IT AS

SOME KIND OF DIVINE INTERVENTION 

SOME KIND OF SIGN 

ALL I KNOW IS HANDS

THAT TURN THINGS INTO GOLD

ARE NEVER MINE

GUESS I SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN

CAUSE RIDIN ACROSS THIS PLAIN

IS WHERE MY HEART BEGINS TO SOAR

AND WHEN I SEE THOSE MOUNTAINS

AND THE SUN GOING DOWN

IN A WESTERN SKY

MAYBE IT'S ALREADY ALL

FIGURED OUT

NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON WHY
