Fortune - Natalie McCool

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
