Lucky
Ad Frank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Til the joke is on us
Then it's dirty
We're so dirty
I feel so dirty
There's no need to say
As we sink beneath the fray
Of course we're sorry
Everybody's sorry
Through the spring, Romance wept
Hope dissembled, Honor slept
True love brooded
True love brooded
There's no need to say so
All my friends seem to know
We are sisters
We are brothers
We are family
And we all dream of May
On the warmest autumn days
Thinking it's truer
Hoping it's truer
And it's sad and so wrong
That the part I loved was gone
Long before you were
Long before you were
We're no strangers to loss
The effects, the cause
We are sisters
We are brothers
We are family
Through the spring, Romance wept
Hope dissembled, Honor slept
True love brooded
True love brooded
And it hurts like a death
That the part I miss now left
Long before you did
Long before you did
In our hearts we join hands
Make new friends and make new plans
We are lucky
We are lucky
