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'
