Hope Springs Eternal Lyrics - Singles - Icicle Works

(McNabb) 

Spent the night in a stranger's house 

Trying to re-ignite an old flame 

Came to nothin' 

Not sure what I want 

When I find it I'll be aware 

That man looks like his dog 

But he'll sit and listen while I spin my yarn 

Don't sleep 'til way past three 

Down on my luck 

I'm down on my knees 

Chorus: Hope Springs Eternal 

Good Fortune Comes To Those Who Wait 

One speaks with love in mind 

One's so insecure, a friendly word can't warm her 

Got a job, got some pay 

Had a problem, wished it away 

My rearview mirror's fogged 

But I'm not afraid 

The past can't overtake you 

Old lady with a shopping bag 

You long to buy and sell 

Chorus 

Get out of bed, we're going to drive into town 

Make a big noise, remind ourselves who we are 

The goldmine can't come round here 

You'll have to scratch in the dirt 

Faith don't work that way
