We walked out one autumn evening Someone up there made a fair appear Coloured light that caught our eyes And reggae music caught our ears We laughed as they played all the songs We wanted least of all to hear I guess that's when I knew That we'd be more than just good friends It happened just by chance Someone up there - someone up there makes the sun and sea Someone up there - someone up there brought my girl to me Someone up there - someone up there makes the wind and rain Someone up there - someone up there took her back again And just for once You can't fight back No messing with the hand of fate Oh no The paper ran an ad That had you running to the other side of town Working for a man I never could make out Who started hanging round Someone up there got me drinking got me drunk And made me put him down The way you looked at me I knew That we'd be coming to an end It happened just by chance Someone up there - someone up there makes the sun and sea Someone up there - someone up there brought my girl to me Someone up there - someone up there makes the wind and rain Someone up there - someone up there took her back again And just for once You can't fight back No messing with the hand of fate Oh no
