Fortune's Child Songtext
von Connie Converse

This letter comes from fortune′s child
You see no other name is signed
You may recall my heart was wild
And to your love I only smiled.

We never could go hand in hand
So to your love I only smiled
And you would never understand
That I was fortune's only child


You used to ask me what I wanted
I said the world, and time, and space
My heart was wild
My head was haunted
With every new and smiling face.

I said I′d wait til fortune smiled
I said I'd never change my mind
This letter comes from fortune's child
But when was fortune ever kind?
