Lyrics

Hard Luck

You came to me on a cloudy cloudy day
And your kisses brought the sun
In my heart I knew that you would never stay
But I hoped that this time I was wrong
We had passion babe, yeah we had fire
Nights in tangled sheets so long
You were my orchestra and I was your choir
And one morning you were gone
And I’ve had

I've had hard luck in the past
Seems to follow me around
Could this be my last chance for a little love
I’ve been late for the train
And I’ve been caught in the rain
Guess I’m destined to have
Hard Luck

There’s a picture on my wall in a golden frame
I’ve been meaning to take it down
And it mutely tells a story I know very well
It’s eloquent without a sound
See residing there - yellowed and faded now
Behind that dusty pane
A memory tender to recall
And the coming of the rain
And I’ve had

I've had hard luck in the past
Seems to follow me around
Could this be my last chance for a little love
I’ve been late for the train
And I’ve been caught in the rain
Guess I’m destined to have
Hard Luck

Found your number today where I’d tucked it away
In a small dark corner of my head
Thought of calling you for a moment or two
But then I opened a beer instead

When I drink too much you know I start losing touch
With all the things I know to be true
I dance with shadows on the wall
I pretend you’re gonna call
And I pretend I’m over you
And I’ve had

Hard luck in the past
Seems to follow me around
Could this be my last chance for a little love
I’ve been late for the train
And I’ve been caught in the rain
Guess I’m destined to have
Hard Luck in the past
Seems to follow me around
Could this be my last chance for a little love
I’ve been late for the train
And I’ve been caught in the rain
Guess I’m destined to have
Hard Luck
