Lucky Charm

(album: Lucky Charm - 1994)

Well, I've left this place for good
Like you knew I always would
Can't come as no surprise
But when you walk me to the door
Like a thousand times before
You should have seen it in my eyes

I didn't notice my halo was slipping
Someone should have followed me home
My guardian angel went missing
Must have had wings made of stone

They say its one short painless leap
To that final dreamless sleep
In the valley safe from harm
But when the winds blow cold and hard
It could catch you of your guard
You might need more than a lucky charm

See I'd like to be with you tomorrow
Laughing in the cruel sunlight
But I spent all the time I could borrow
High as a kite

You can sift through hours of proof
You could stumble on the truth
But you'll never be satisfied
'Cause all the warnings you don't heed
And every useless thing you need
Just feed the fire inside
