lyrics

Its lucky that you left
got up and flew away
like all good birds do these days

Its lucky that you left me with this tickle in my chest
billowing like a sail
white, without detail

Its lucky that I left in spite of how impressed I was and I am.

Its lucky that I left.
There was no because, just a wish bone in my glove
cracked in two a wish for you and one for me too.

Its lucky that I fled,
Escaped from this tapestry that trapped me in my head.

Its lucky how it went,
here with this paper and this pen.
I can't always win what I want or when.

Its lucky that we're gone
long gone away
and dear, its better this way
though I wish you were here to stay.
