Lyrics
The Answer Came On Saturday
I searched the stars
I searched my soul
Placed wagers on our future
I went to bed
Had my cards read
Repented, got defensive
I pushed so hard
To know the truth
Would love retreat or prosper?
I tossed and turned
Debated, spurned
Had dinner with a sister
But the answer came on Saturday
As quiet as a whisper
No psychic could predict it
The answer came
Since you called and turned me down
The outcome is apparent
No longer yours, no longer mine
No long phone call to make it fine
I tugged and pulled
Schemed and fooled
To make it last forever
I lost and learned
Crashed and burned
We couldn?t stay together
Chorus
It would have happened one day
But could all change on Sunday
The answer came
