Misfortune is the name for how I feel today
This long and stormy trail keeps on winding into hell
Hail through the rain
Will I make it through the day?
The desert wind is high
Your perfect skin shines
This spell, it holds me tight
O, will I survive?
Your fortune in my hand
Without it I can’t win
Sing me into grace with that smile and that face
Are better days ahead?
‘Cause it’s sure feeling like the end
This spell, it holds me tight
O, will I survive?
Is there any good hope?
Your fortune will lend me a hand when needed most
...As I dredge on ahead
An ode I never heard but I knew it all by heart
Your voice says the words and you sing me that perfect song
The desert beauty shines
I can see it in your eyes
