lyrics

When you’re down on your luck

Life is still worth living
When you’re not in love
Life is still forgiving
When you’re down on you’re luck

Take a walk in the park
Look above at the singing Lark
Roses bloom in front of you
The sky is bright a Cerulean blue

People may say, poor old you
As they walk arm in arm as lovers do
But you can drive down any road
Making tracks with no fixed abode

Don’t be afraid of making a date
Keep it cool with no mistakes
Dancing to a jitter bug
As they whisper in your ear, well I’m not in love

And in the twilight hours when you’re feeling lonely
And the night is drawing in
The wise old owl is calling
You’ll find love, you will find love, again

One night not too late
You see someone you wish to embrace
They turn to you in a fearful state and say
Sorry love, there’s been a big mistake
