FORTUNE FOR THE FINDER

(David Callinan)

Lonely lanes and dusty byways
They will hide my night tonight
I will always make them my ways
I'm escapin' from the light.
Love gone sour in the mornin'
Like a wilted flower it quickly dies
Caring not the time it's born in
Or the heart in which it lies

Chorus:
There's a fortune for the finder
Of the dream I had that's gone
A ring of leather for her finger

A place with me beneath the sun.

All the books I've read don't tell me
Of the changes of your mind
A lonely wind always pursues me
I'm out of reach and hard to find
We never talked about tomorrow
We just lived for today
We never thought that we could borrow
Each others' hearts in which to play.

Chorus

All I've had is left behind me
All I want is far away
You passed away some time from me girl
And now for me the fire is dead.
So goodbye farewell I'm sorry
For leaving you without a tear
My bones are cold my body's achin'
I whisper words you'll never hear.

Chorus

Sung by Seàn Tyrrell on «Cry of a dreamer» (1995)
