Lyrics
Lucky Me
Lucky me when you held my ride
I saw the earth under my feet and thought I'd fly
And a vast and empty space
Opened up to be embraced
But you kept me watertight and held me high
Lucky me when I heard your voice
Calling out to me when dark clouds crossed my mind
You know I'd have thrown it all away
Stuck on the dark side of the day
Pulling tricks to keep the wildness at my door
Something kicks and all I do is roar and roar
Lucky me you called me in and held me high
Lucky me as our time goes on
I see the earth under my feet and I know I'm flying
Over the vast and empty space
That still longs to be embraced
And the winding road that leads you to my soul
While the wonders of the world below unfold
You know I keep you watertight and hold you high
