Fortune

Fortune in my eyes
Fortune in my smile
Gold is all I feel
Hand and fist of steel

I found a hidden treasure
My love was beyond measure
I thought of you as a trophy
I thought of myself only

Hard as earth and dark as rain
A cobalt curse I'm blind with pain

Made me a ring out of lead
A fashion wrapped round my head
I bought the brightest of gold
But what does a poor girl know?

Your crown upon my head and
Your chain around my neck
Your coin within my pocket and
Your likeness in my locket

Hard as earth and dark as rain
A cobalt curse I'm blind with pain

Oh what use is silver
What good comes of gold?
Built myself a temple trapped behind the walls

Fortune in my eyes
Fortune in my smile
Gold is all I feel
Hand and fist of steel
