The Fortune


the rain is pouring in my heart

the water ends as clay

a baby cries without a sound . . .

and all the love that's gone astray

it slowly falls apart

and roses that we kissed today

are dying in despair

the dawn is hiding in my mind

the sunshine turns away

a songbird sings without a voice . . .

and those who have a thing to say

are forced into rewind

where's the clue and the core

where's the saint and the king

where's the fortune of war

and the peace it should bring

the wind is blowing in my hair

the blue sky seems so gray

a soldier lives without a life . . .

and roses that we kissed today

are dying in despair

where's the clue and the core

where's the saint and the king

where's the lives from before

and the song we would sing

where's the fortune of war

and the peace it should bring
