| Song | Good Fortune |
| Artist | Joe Henry |
| Album | Short Man's Room |
| I will come back for my things | |
| then I'll go the way I came | |
| back down your crooked steps two at a time; | |
| And to the morning sun | |
| I will call as I run | |
| as if it waited for me now to shine. | |
| This is my good fortune now at last | |
| this is all I never knew to ask of you — | |
| to leave me with no love I might return. | |
| I know where I could go | |
| and work awhile, you never know | |
| the change might be enough to set me free; | |
| I could leave tonight | |
| and discover I was right | |
| but now freer than I ever chose to be. | |
| This is my good fortune now at last | |
| this is all I never knew to ask of you — | |
| to leave me with no love I might return. | |
| I climb right in beside | |
| the first offer of a ride | |
| that’s warmer than all that I leave behind; | |
| I shake my collar free | |
| and hold myself against my knee | |
| and pray tonight’s the peaceful, dreamless kind. | |
| This is my good fortune now at last | |
| this is all I never knew to ask of you — | |
| to leave me with no love I might return. | |
| This is my good fortune I'll love. |
| I will come back for my things | |
| then I' ll go the way I came | |
| back down your crooked steps two at a time | |
| And to the morning sun | |
| I will call as I run | |
| as if it waited for me now to shine. | |
| This is my good fortune now at last | |
| this is all I never knew to ask of you | |
| to leave me with no love I might return. | |
| I know where I could go | |
| and work awhile, you never know | |
| the change might be enough to set me free | |
| I could leave tonight | |
| and discover I was right | |
| but now freer than I ever chose to be. | |
| This is my good fortune now at last | |
| this is all I never knew to ask of you | |
| to leave me with no love I might return. | |
| I climb right in beside | |
| the first offer of a ride | |
| that' s warmer than all that I leave behind | |
| I shake my collar free | |
| and hold myself against my knee | |
| and pray tonight' s the peaceful, dreamless kind. | |
| This is my good fortune now at last | |
| this is all I never knew to ask of you | |
| to leave me with no love I might return. | |
| This is my good fortune I' ll love. |
