Fortune’s Child
This letter comes from fortune's child
You see no other name is signed
You may recall my heart was wild
And to your love, I paid no mind

We never could go hand in hand
So to your love, I only smiled
And you could never understand
That I was fortune's only child

You used to ask me what I wanted
I said "The world, and time, and space"
My heart was wild, my head was haunted
With every new and smiling face

I said I'd wait 'til fortune smiled
I said I'd never change my mind
This letter comes from fortune's child
But when was fortunе ever kind
