even the mightiest rivers will bend
|
before they vanish, in the sand
|
even the tallest of timbers will fall
|
easy to fall, ain't easy to land
|
|
well that's a curse of mine
|
seems everything I find
|
keeps fallin' till it cannot fall
|
well that's a curse of mine
|
in the best of times
|
keep fallin' till I cannot fall
|
|
That's when fortune smiled on you
|
I'd say fortune smiled
|
when you went runnin'
|
away from these arms
|
|
the first will be last and the
|
last will be drunk
|
goes down, easy, easy come
|
|
well that's a curse of mine
|
never look behind
|
don't look into the swath I cut
|
well that's a curse of mine
|
never look behind
|
deep into the swath I cut
|
|
That's when fortune smiled on you
|
I'd say fortune smiled
|
when you went runnin'
|
away from these arms
|
these are the last things,
|
the things that will last
|
the knife in my tears, the
|
jail of my fears
|
|
well that's a curse of mineX3
|
wicked and divine
|
shoulda' never tried to love me
|
|
That's when fortune smiled on you
|
I'd say fortune smiled
|
when you went runnin'
|
away from these arms
|
|
when you went runnin'
|
away from these arms
|
hmmmmm ... when you went runnin'
|
