Terry Scott Taylor – I Plan, God Laughs Lyrics
Artist: Terry Scott Taylor
Song: I Plan, God Laughs
It’s another door slammed and bolted
It’s one more window locked
You were on your way back home
And now you’re not
With my fingers I form a steeple in such a way
That when I open my hands, there’s no one home
Then I call your number just to hear your message on the phone
Maybe next month
Maybe next year
Oh my, oh my, it’s been a long, long time
I plan
God laughs
I plan
God laughs
Here’s another faded photo
In the year before things changed
I took hard that betrayal
Of an old friend, now estranged
How could I be so mistaken?
Why couldn’t I see in all that time I’d been walking on a wire?
Or that I’d be one of many who got torched in his scorched-earth fire?
I thought by now
He’d come around
All would be forgiven ’cause love would break us down
I planned
God laughed
I planned
God laughed
The day’s as restless as a landlocked sailor
Anxious to move on from old history
His baggage is ready and stacked
Against the wall with a yellowing map
And he’s dreaming of the whispering sea
“You’ll dig a hole to China”
Said my younger days
“And die before you get old
Go out in a glorious blaze”
I won’t be aloof like my father, rest his soul
Or like my mother, worried about too many things
Pull myself up by the bootstraps
Be an optimistic dancer in the rain
Maybe next week
Sometime this year
These things don’t happen overnight
God plans
I laugh
God plans
I laugh
God plans
I laugh
God plans
I laugh
