FATE
I wrote this tune originally in 1984 - the subject matter is Pre-Destination and the concept that our lives are pre-ordained. It is, of course, a love song about eternal love, a love which extends beyond time, as the theme. I hope you enjoy it, it has taken quite a while for this version to be completed. The First Demo version of this track was written in Germany in 1984. This Remastered Version for 2020 was originally arranged by Markus Ruffing in 2014. Special thanks to Markus for the Fantastic Work and the beautiful Instrumentation. This Tune has been a favorite of many of my family members for many years. I wish to thank my brother Jim Keaton for his never-wavering encouragement and support through my career and for always being there. I would also like to give a shout out to John Carriero who has always believed in me. Thank You, John. God Bless You all and be Well !
FATE LYRICS:
Fate is your name
In the wind
Where we’ve been
Deja-Vu
Violins
Mediterranean Breeze
In the trees
Tell me please
Must I wait forever ?
(Chorus)
I have not seen you
For a hundred years
Do your eyes still glow
The way they did ?
I must wait now
To hear your voice
I must wait for fate to
Make the choice
Fate is believing
In a rhyme with a reason
And the theater of treason
Plays on again
Fate is drinking wine
In the desert
With you
And somehow
Believing it’s true.
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse (music only)
Repeat Chorus
I must wait now
On heaven’s gate
For the rose, for the thorns
For Fate
Written in 1984
