Songtext von Hope Springs Eternal

Spent the night in a stranger's house Trying to re-ignite an old flame Came to nothin' Not sure what I want When I find it I'll be aware That man looks like his dog But he'll sit and listen while I spin my yarn Don't sleep 'til way past three Down on my luck I'm down on my knees Chorus: Hope Springs Eternal Good Fortune Comes To Those Who Wait One speaks with love in mind One's so insecure, a friendly word can't warm her Got a job, got some pay Had a problem, wished it away My rearview mirror's fogged But I'm not afraid The past can't overtake you Old lady with a shopping bag You long to buy and sell Chorus Get out of bed, we're going to drive into town Make a big noise, remind ourselves who we are The goldmine can't come round here You'll have to scratch in the dirt Faith don't work that way
