lyrics

Lucky

For a nine long years we lived on a promise of hope
We worked so hard did our best to cope
It wasn't much of a life, but I had her by my side
And that made it all worth the while
I picked a job here and there, just enough to provide the bread
And barely kept the roof over our head
The summers short and the winters long, we laid close to keep us warm
She never asked for anything we couldn't afford

They say we're lucky to be born in these times
I guess luck is hard to define
They say we're lucky to fight this good fight
But they never seem to be the ones to cry

We had a little place downtown with a crooked landlord
And the rents so high it was all we could afford
It was cold and damp and the draft kept blowing through drapes
She got ill, it was more than she could take
She fought strong to the bitter end I never left her side
The doctors told me it was her time
On a Monday we laid her down, hopes and dreams down in the ground
There's nothing left without her around
