lyrics
Saved by luck or saved by chance
or saved by you?
I won't crave for winters past,
if you only knew.
I won't ever weed out your mind,
if you care for the money or the time
well I don't care for it all.
Goodbye my sweetness said you and I.
Goodbye stop me from crying,
said you can try to save my world.
Down on luck or down on chance
or down on you.
I won't laze in this crazy world
till this phase is through.
I won't ever fall or be mislead.
Stop this world from raining through my head
and I might care for it more.
Goodbye my sweetness said you and I.
Goodbye stop me from crying,
said you can try to save my world.
Well you've got to play your hand
if it's the only thing you have got.
Goodbye my sweetness said you and I.
Goodbye stop me from crying,
said you can try to save my world.
or saved by you?
I won't crave for winters past,
if you only knew.
I won't ever weed out your mind,
if you care for the money or the time
well I don't care for it all.
Goodbye my sweetness said you and I.
Goodbye stop me from crying,
said you can try to save my world.
Down on luck or down on chance
or down on you.
I won't laze in this crazy world
till this phase is through.
I won't ever fall or be mislead.
Stop this world from raining through my head
and I might care for it more.
Goodbye my sweetness said you and I.
Goodbye stop me from crying,
said you can try to save my world.
Well you've got to play your hand
if it's the only thing you have got.
Goodbye my sweetness said you and I.
Goodbye stop me from crying,
said you can try to save my world.

about
Ross John Martin Cambridge, UK
RJM plays beautiful, intricate and textural acoustic music. Like Nick Drake jamming on Becks Sea Change
album.
Songs that are sad, strange and soulful.
Overcoming odds
and an awakening of the soul are an ever present theme.
