Joe Henry - Good Fortune lyrics

I will come back for my things then I'll go the way I came back down your crooked steps two at a time; And to the morning sun I will call as I run as if it waited for me now to shine. This is my good fortune now at last this is all I never knew to ask of you — to leave me with no love I might return. I know where I could go and work awhile, you never know the change might be enough to set me free; I could leave tonight and discover I was right but now freer than I ever chose to be. This is my good fortune now at last this is all I never knew to ask of you — to leave me with no love I might return. I climb right in beside the first offer of a ride that's warmer than all that I leave behind; I shake my collar free and hold myself against my knee and pray tonight's the peaceful, dreamless kind. This is my good fortune now at last this is all I never knew to ask of you — to leave me with no love I might return. This is my good fortune I'll love.
