Luck fell in the right place for me
The day you happened to come by.
You caught me feeling all was useless,
And left me feeling ten feet high.
Now nothing again can be quite the same.
You gather my fears, and threw them away.
Luck dropped in, just at the right time;
The time when I felt most alone.
All my dreams had seemed to vanish.
Now my nightmares have upped and gone.
I'm not scared of farewells. Nothing's the same twice.
I stride through the day, and float through the night.
How much choice do we have in this?
Like some almighty hand, smashing your life into pieces,
One day you're washed and drowned
And the next day you're put back on the land.
Now nothing again can be quite the same.
I gather my fears and I throw them away.
Luck, when you hold me closely.
Ooh, feels like summertime.
Luck, when you hold my hand.
I want it all the time.
Luck, in your country kisses.
Ooh, I love your outlook.
Luck, in your hills and valleys.
Go on talking, my babbling brook.
