Lucky Lyrics - Hem

There's a man in a cutaway 

Buying drinks for the room 

All the cheer raining down on the day 

Comes to nothing and leaves by the broom 

On the streets named for presidents 

Where the kingfishers flew 

All the cornflowers sewn in the fence 

Keep the memory from tearing in two 

But if I should lose I'd wake up feeling lucky 

If I should take a fall or throw it all away 

I wouldn't mind lying beside you 

The rest of my days 

The storms came down out of Mackinaw 

As the weigh stations closed 

There was a terrible darkness I saw 

Pulling up on the side of the road 

But if I should lose I'd wake up feeling lucky 

If I should take a fall or throw it all away 

I wouldn't mind lying beside you 

The rest of my days 

So I'll drink to the wealthy man 

And I'll pray for the poor 

And I'll hold onto you while I can 

In the darkness just to be sure 

That if I should lose I'll wake up feeling lucky 

If I should take a fall or throw it all away 

I wouldn't mind lying beside you 

The rest of my days
