Luck - Paul Kelly

Well, it hasn’t changed yet, each time I wake in a sweat

And the sun has slipped out of the sky

As I get to my feet and struggle to dress

All my fingers are thumbs, there’s a fog in my brain

Only one thing is clear, I’m late for my train

And I know all at once that it’s goodbye, my one

I’ll be here when you’re gone

Then I stumble outside, try to flag down a ride

But the taxis just pass me by

Then I run down the street, jump on a slow bus

When I get to the station, the train is still there

I can’t find my ticket, everybody just stares

And I’m turning to stone as the train starts to groan

I just can’t get on

I can see tomorrow

Long, black train I follow

When it’s all there in your eyes

And it’s all no big surprise

Well, it’s goodbye, my one

I’ll be here when you’re gone

I just can’t get on

I can see tomorrow

Long, black train I follow

When it’s all there in your eyes

And it’s all no big surprise

Well, it’s goodbye, my one

I’ll be here when you’re gone

I just can’t get on

Yeah, it’s goodbye, my one

I’ll be here when you’re gone

I just can’t get on

'Cause I’m turning to stone

As the train starts to groan

And I just can’t get on
