Riding My Luck
Am I dead or still alive?
We’ll soon see, all in good time
Crossing the mountains or slippery brook
Riding to long on my good luck
To a row of fine coffins all in a line
A journeys end, is now my time?
I knock three times on heavy lid
Await a response and do what I’m bid
If I’m so luck as to hear whispering
It is an invitation for me to climb in
But I’m greeted by silence this stormy night
So it’s back to the battle, back to the fight
On my next visit to this coffin lined ground
It could be my time to hang around
