| Love, love, it’s never quite enough
|
| And from this I wanna set you free
|
| When it calls my name my head is full of mud
|
| And I feel like I’m falling through the trees
|
| For the times I could not comfort
|
| For the cuts I could not mend
|
| If I let you down, sleep my little darling
|
| Luck’s got her teeth in you already
|
| I’ll take you home, I’ll take you from the country
|
| Carry you across the water
|
| From the place you’ve known
|
| From where you once belonged
|
| Like a rose I picked out of a garden
|
| And I walk these streets a-wonderin'
|
| Am I right to keep you for my own
|
| If I let you down, sleep my little darling
|
| 'Cause luck’s got her teeth in you already
|
| A shining star, a penny in your pocket
|
| Keep her close enough to feel
|
| Wear her like a picture in a locket
|
| Close enough to make her real
|
| And I wonder how she’s feeling
|
| Underneath the air this morn
|
| You’re living well as far as she can tell
|
| 'Cause luck’s got her teeth in you already
|
| You’re living well as far as she can tell
|
| 'Cause luck’s got her teeth in you already |
