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. | |
I climb right in beside | |
the first offer of a ride | |
that’s warmer than all that I leave behind; | |
I shake my collar free | |
and hold myself against my knee | |
and 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 I'll love. |
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. | |
I climb right in beside | |
the first offer of a ride | |
that' s warmer than all that I leave behind | |
I shake my collar free | |
and hold myself against my knee | |
and 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 I' ll love. |
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. | |

This is my good fortune I' ll love. |
