Joe Henry - Good Fortune текст песни

I will come back for my things
then I'll go the way I came
back down your crooked steps two at a time;
And to the morning sun
I will call as I run
as if it waited for me now to shine.

This is my good fortune now at last
this is all I never knew to ask of you —
to leave me with no love I might return.

I know where I could go
and work awhile, you never know
the change might be enough to set me free;
I could leave tonight
and discover I was right
but now freer than I ever chose to be.

This is my good fortune now at last
this is all I never knew to ask of you —
to leave me with no love I might return.

I climb right in beside
the first offer of a ride
that's warmer than all that I leave behind;
I shake my collar free
and hold myself against my knee
and pray tonight's the peaceful, dreamless kind.

This is my good fortune now at last
this is all I never knew to ask of you —
to leave me with no love I might return.
This is my good fortune I'll love.
