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
