Take Away The Luck



TAKE AWAY THE LUCK

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017


SITTING HERE STARING INTO SPACE
LOOKING BUT NOT SEEING
SO MANY THINGS THAT I FEEL
SORT THEM OUT, SEE WHICH ARE REAL
SO MUCH OF MY LIFE BEHIND ME, I FORGOT
MISS SOME OF THOSE DAYS AN AWFUL LOT
BUT THESE DAYS ARE COMING ALL APART
LIKE LEAVES IN THE WIND, BLOWING AGAIN
JUST A MIRACLE TO MAKE THIS END

I DON'T NEED IT, I CAN'T FEED IT
I'VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO
BUNDLE OF SAGE, TO SMUDGE THIS WHOLE PLACE
TAKE AWAY THESE DEMONS
TAKE AWAY THE LUCK
AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW, IF THAT WAS ENOUGH
WE'LL WAIT AND SEE, BUT NOT FOR LONG
I'M TIRED OF SINGING THIS SAME OLD SONG

NO IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I KNOW
IF THIS IS THE NEW BEGINNING I WAS WAITING FOR
DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE UNCERTAINTY
I CAN TAKE FROM HERE
AM I GETTING CLOSE, AM I EVEN NEAR
NOW I TURN TO FACE THIS THING
SEE WHAT MORE IT WILL BRING
LOOKING FOR THE SUN
 TO BREAK THROUGH THE CLOUDS
CASTING DARKER SHADOWS ON MY DAYS
TURNING EVER SLOWLY, ONTO THE PAGE

 I HEAR IT WHISPERED ON THE WIND
YOU'VE DONE IT ONCE YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN
FORTUNE SO FAR ELUDES ME
SLIPPING AWAY AT EVERY SUNSET ALONG THE WAY
RISING LIKE A PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES
JUST FOR ONE MORE TRY
AND IF I SHOULD FAIL, IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU KNOW I TRIED AND TRIED
THE ANSWERS THAT I NEEDED
 JUST WON'T COME TO LIGHT
SOMETHING HERE ISN'T RIGHT

TAKE AWAY THIS LUCK 
MAKE MY OWN FATE INSTEAD
HOPE IT ISN'T TOO LATE TO CHANGE MY LIFE
JUST ANOTHER PAGE, A BRAND NEW AGE
WHERE I FIND ALL I NEED
OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND INTO THE LIGHT
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS FOR THIS TO TURN OUT RIGHT
