Good Fortune Songtext
von Weeping Tile

You walked away from us
Pulling weeds in the late afternoon sun
Off somewhere alone to take one last look at a life you had begun
And I set off, my boots on gravel
Potholed lane, just tagging on
Looked both ways down the fire road
To see which way you had gone

Been sipping tea all day from a pot
Steeping slowly on the stove
Explored a cave into the bay
Along Canadian Shield coast
Moss-covered crevices line
The inside of my brain
I got lost in the overgrowth
You don′t notice time and it gets late


I thank my lucky stars tonight
That you are here, eyes so blue, so bright
Good fortune's found me out
Up in Parry Sound I lie
Waiting in sleep until the night goes by

And the high was on
You′re in my
Getting ready for something to be something after all
This time

And now I'm leaning back against your warm coat
Under a setting galaxy
Orion's belt, but all I felt, it
Was the wonder I could see that
In that clearing where the tree line shadows
Impose on the blackest sky
I opened my hand for the first time

I thank my lucky stars tonight
That you are here, eyes so blue, so bright
Good fortune′s found me out
Up in Parry Sound I lie
Waiting in sleep until the night goes by
Until the night
Goes by
