I will come back for my things
Then I'll go the way I came
back down your crooked steps two at a time
And to the morning sun
I will call as I run
As if it waited for me now to shine
This is my good fortune now at last
This is all I never knew to ask of you
To leave me with no love I might return.
I know where I could go
And work awhile, you never know
the change might be enough to set me free
I could leave tonight
And discover I was right
But now freer than I ever chose to be
This is my good fortune now at last
this is all I never knew to ask of you
To leave me with no love I might return
SOLO
I climb up on the side
Of the engine where I ride
It's warmer than all that I leave behind
I shake my collar free
And hold myself against my knee
And I pray tonight's the peaceful, dreamless kind.
This is my good fortune now at last
This is all I never knew to ask of you
To leave me with no love I might return
This is my good fortune
