when fortune comes

i don't want to know about the weight on your back

every stone you gather and stack-from now on

don't look at me for an ounce of pity

i don't want to know when fortune comes

cheated

borrowed

stolen

or won-same thing

the rocks all show when the river runs low

acting like everything's free

i don't want to know how you bide your time

consider me deaf

consider me dumb and blind

consider me true to the man i knew

i don't want to know how you make your way

dropping stones to get back someday-well

go on

every stride is another left behind

you're acting like everything's free

there's always a cost underneath

where're you gonna go when the road runs out?

fallen down

half-dead

waking in a flowerbed

where're you gonna turn when your bridges all burn?

acting like everything's free

there's always a cost underneath

i don't want to know where you lost the track

going

gone

and never came back-it's the same thing

what'd you do with the person i knew?

what'd you do with the person i knew?
