Lyrics

Fortune teller sits beside a glass bowl full of second sights
And hopes his dreams won't come true
You and I paid money that we've worked all week to earn
His dreams are schemes, he's better off than you
Will I win the war and will I come back
To hold my loved ones in my arms again?
Will good fortune smile upon me always?
Tell me, fortune teller, fortune teller, prophesy
Oh, how can I tell him that he'll die there?
He'll be killed upon the field of victory
While his wife lies asleep beside his best friend
Oh God, take this mind away from me
[Instrumental]
Many years have passed me now
Still I know I'll sit and tell the world what's to be
Soldier died, I said he would, killed in the name of good
A wasted life, one so young as he
Will I see the mountains of my home again?
Feel God's rain drying on my face
Will I feel the touch of new grass on my feet?
Tell me, fortune teller, tell me, speak
Oh, I'm just a mortal such as you, my son
I know not where my knowledge cometh from
But I see you are a man of gentle nature, my friend
Ask me more and then I'll sing my song
I dreamt the other night I looked upon God's face
And do you know I looked away in shame?
For he was looking at the world and crying
When he saw that he had given life in vain
Fortune teller sits beside a glass bowl full of second sights
And hopes his dreams won't come true
You and I paid money that we've worked all week to earn
His dreams are schemes, he's better off than you
For he was looking at the world and crying
