Fortune lyrics

You took out that money that your momma had saved

She told me she kept it for running away

Oh my, fortunes can change

You've picked up some tricks that you learnt on your way

For fear you'd be lonely if you never change

Oh my, you lost your faith

We landed on rocks and that's partly to blame

We wandered the landscape in this unbearable pain

Oh my, your fortune can change

At least we agree that we've wasted our time

We'll give up the hope that we'll meet down the line

Better off measured in coffee than wine

I think on it fondly now the truth can be told

Some love is ancient and it lives on in your soul

A fortune that never grows old

You spent all that money that your momma had saved

Told me she kept it for running away

Never quite found the right way to say

I'm sorry, my darling, my mind it has been changed

Release me from this unbearable pain

And so ends a story I had hoped to change

I had to release us from this unbearable pain

And promise we won't come here again
