Your luck and your life alone

Ain't nobody can touch you

You can't go lying if you don't feel

Tingling down to your bones

When she's so sincere

So fearless

It's calling you back again

Like a tune so often played

It means nothing now

But you go

It's another game to play

Do you remember what to say

What to show?

You're breaking the bank to ride

On the sound of the feeling

Full sails, high seas

You'll be chasing it 'til you die

Your mother's fallen angel

Of deeper wonders than the waves

It's a killing you're out to find

A lost soul's bounty

Buried in the weary miles

You go

So baby break me clеan in two

One for the highway, one for you

A shadow

Struck out on thе crooked path

A sweet calypso stole my will

And filled my glass

But it's the finer things leave you dry

Once you learn how kindness steals

And beauty lies

Stolen away to roam

In the quiet of the morning

In the wild of your mind

See the breakers chasing the foam

The cold expanse

That brought you

It's calling you back again

North wind of the winter

East wind of the rain

And snow

Where the pushers play your scars

To the tune of steel guitars

At the show

Struck out on the crooked path

A sweet calypso stole my will

And filled my glass

But it's the finer things leave you dry

Once you learn how kindness steals

And beauty lies
