Three Times Written in the

[Verse 1 — The First Time] The first time that I saw her, I was lost and on my own, Just a stranger passing through With nowhere I could call home. She had silver in her hair, Amethyst shining in her eyes, And something in the way she looked Made me stop and wonder why. She didn't know my story, I didn't know her's too, But somehow in that moment The world felt a little clearer, Like the skies had turned blue. She smiled and said my name, Like she'd known me all along, And as I walked away that night Wondering where I belonged. [Chorus] Then I saw her again, Yeah, I saw her again, Like the road I was walking Just kept on winding back to her. Maybe it was chance, Maybe it was more, But when you find someone, You don't ever forget them anymore. [Verse 2 — The Second Time] The second time I saw her, I wouldn't call it chance, She looked at me and laughed Like she'd been waiting for this dance. We talked a little longer, looking in each others eyes, Stayed beneath the evening sky, And I swear the stars above us Was whispering to us why. She had asked me where I'd came from, I told her what I knew, But there were pieces of my past That I couldn't tell her was true. Still, she never walked away, Never asked me to pretend, And somewhere in that moment I knew I'd found a true friend. [Chorus] Then I saw her again, Yeah, I saw her again, And the world kept turning But I kept finding her. I knew something was about to begin. Maybe it was chance, Maybe written in the stars, But somehow every road I took never let me go that far. [Bridge — The Third Time] They say three times a charm, Three times makes it true, And the third time that I saw her I already knew. I knew it in the silence, I knew it in her eyes, I knew that whatever happened, We'd never say goodbye. Three isn't just a number, Three isn't just a sign, It was the Fates smiling above us Drawing your heart to mine. [Final Chorus — Eivør singing to Kithara] Three times I found you, Three times the stars aligned, Three times the moon above us Put your hand back in mine. And I'd walk every road again, Just to find you at the end, I'd lose myself a thousand times Just to meet you all over again. Now when I look into your eyes, I remember where we've been The first time that I found you, that second time I saw you, And again that third time... I knew I'd found my home. So if the Fates were writing Every chapter of our lives, Then I'd choose the same three moments Underneath those ancient skies. And if the stars asked me tomorrow If I'd do it all again, I'd tell them, "Take me back to that moment when. Yeah, we fell in love thanks to the power of three.” Because three times isn't coincidence... When it was three times written in the stars. [Outro] Three times... Under the moon. Three times... The Fates knew. And every time I find you, I find a little more of me. Three times written in the stars... And forever written in my heart.
