Fortunes

dirty and homeless and wanting my love
i played all my fortunes to follow this dove
i waited on platforms for trains to come by
sleeping in corner rooms wondering why

when i know that it's only a blind-fold disease
that leaves me so lonely and treats me so mean
with it's mystery that still just confuses my heart
til i ain't so sure that i played any part
worth any worry or worth any fuss
or made for feather away all it's dust

still i search for a heaven to hold in my arms
but i just end up cheatin' on voodoo and stars
and asking forgiveness and old dollar bills
and looking out sideways from some window sill

feeling forgotten. i am, feeling forgotten

still i search for a heaven to hold in my arms
