Fortune Teller Songtext
von Hope Waits

Grateful to see this beautiful ocean
Burdened by all the things to come
Believe me, I′ve always had the notion
To let things fall down
One by one

And walking the streets of New Orleans
Looking to get my fortune told
I passed a lady who seemed to be crazy
She said "Baby, your eyes are much too old"

And she said
Your soul is like a river
It just don't know how to flow
And your love is like a river
It don′t know where to go


And honey, I am not quite finished forgiving
Oh, it's only been a year
But I would like to sing my song
Without having to shed another tear
So I still stumble down the alleys of Decatur
Oh, it is like a washing flood
And I'm still searching, searching for my savior
I look up and it′s still you in the place of the sun

And your soul is like a river
It just don′t know how to flow
And your soul is like a river
It don't know where to go

Grateful to see this beautiful ocean
Burdened by all the things to come
Believe me, I′ve always had the notion
To let things fall down

And your love (Your love)
Like the fall (Like the fall)
You said it is a fair-weather friend
And my love (My love)
Like the fall (Like the fall)
Just don't know


Just don′t know when to end
(Your love)
Love (Like the fall)
Oh, oh, this love
And your love
Just like that old woman said
Your love, your soul
Just don't know when to go
(Your love)
Your love (Like the fall)

My love

(My love, like the fall)

A fair-weather friend
Don′t know when to end
Your fair-weather friend
Don't know when to end
