Fortune Teller
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was just standing, turning around
That’s when they caught me headin’ down
Keep on going don’t look away
That’s what they tell me, that’s what they say
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
Yeah, that’s what they tell me, that’s what they say
You’re a pretty thought I support
Yeah, I’m just tryin’ to hold up as I go
And one day I swear I’ll spread my wings
I’m on my way to finer things
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
I’m on my way to finer things
It wasn’t just me playin’ those games
Still it’s my own fault just the same
I opened up, I let you in
Now these crystal feelings are wearing thin
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
I opened up, I let you in
I’m walkin’ with the fortune teller
I can see my own way home
But I don’t like this dark road anymore
And I don’t want to be alone for long
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
Don’t want to be alone for long
I don’t want to be on this dark road alone…
