Lyrics
Fortunes
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.
Fortunes left in the bank
For the taxman to take
And for no one to thank
I can't value my interest in you
Evaluate what I can do
You are not really depressed
And I'm not obsessed by you
Never undressed with you
Who sins more sweetly than you
And so unashamedly too
CHORUS:
Girl in the choir and singing
How you inspire all this longing
There can't be a man who'd damn you
So how come not one understands you?
Always I single you out
Your voice from the others
As if you were shouting
Or whispering into my ear
The unison I always hear
I see a girl in the choir
She sings the same harmony
Is part of the score with me
Follow her into the fire
In love with a girl in the choir
