Hope Springs Eternal - The Icicle Works

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
