Lyrics The Walkabouts

The Walkabouts

When Fortune Smiles

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'
