Fortune Songtext
von Ken Hensley

Although now it seems like never
When we were even less together
I appeared to have my back to the wall

And the way things were going
There was no way of knowing
If I was having any luck at all

Silently, suddenly, standing before me
An old man awaited his death
Part of me cried out
But none turned to hide
For no curses distorted his breath

It was then I took to thinking
And my hand took to writing
And my dreams came into answer to call


Waiting in wonder my thoughts ran like thunder
Could it be I′ve been wasting my mind
I grew sort of cold as the vision unfolded
Bursting the shackles of time

So I gathered what I had
Took a look at that was going down
And it made me kind of sad
Watching all the circles going slowly round

And the stars sang in harmony
It was so perfect that it laid me down
And the rain clouds were tossed away
Seemed like the world was lost and I would drown -
In its sound

Somewhere along the road I don't know where
I had really believed I was poor
Looking, not seeing, the point of my being
When all of my fortune is sure
