Luck in My Eyes
K. D. Lang · Reintarnation [Sire/Rhino] [2006]
Empty my pockets that were weighing me down
Sift through my soul to see what's lost and found
Gonna walk away from trouble with my head held high
Then look closely you'll see luck in my eyes.
I can hear a howling wind that sweeps away
The pain that's been, take all my sorrow
And I'll cast away the worries tomorrow that I had today
Gonna walk away from trouble with my head held high
Then look closely you'll see luck in my eyes.
All my troubles, all my troubles, gone with luck in my eyes
All my worry's, all my worry's, gone...
