Winning Streak by Glen Hansard Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Through summers long and winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune wait on every bend
And may your winning streak, may it never end
So roll the dice, boy, 'cause my money's on you
Take my advice now and put your money down, too
Because there's something in the eye you just can't pretend
And may your winning streak, may it never end
[Chorus]
And may the sign of the Southern Cross
Be some comfort to you when you're lost
And may the devil's evil eye
Pass you by
[Verse 2]
Well, it's not for glory, I'll tell you true
That I do these things I do for you
But for a promise I made now I must defend
May your winning streak, may it never end, hey
[Chorus]
May the sign of the cross be some comfort when you're lost
Help you when you're all broke down
May the spirit of good brethren turn you around
And may the devil's evil eye pass you right by
Don't you look back, my friend
And may the sisters of good charity take you in
[Verse 3]
Through summers long and winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune be a constant and a loyal friend
And may your winning streak, may it never end
May your winning streak, may it never end
May your winning streak, may it never end
Through summers long and winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune wait on every bend
And may your winning streak, may it never end
So roll the dice, boy, 'cause my money's on you
Take my advice now and put your money down, too
Because there's something in the eye you just can't pretend
And may your winning streak, may it never end
[Chorus]
And may the sign of the Southern Cross
Be some comfort to you when you're lost
And may the devil's evil eye
Pass you by
[Verse 2]
Well, it's not for glory, I'll tell you true
That I do these things I do for you
But for a promise I made now I must defend
May your winning streak, may it never end, hey
[Chorus]
May the sign of the cross be some comfort when you're lost
Help you when you're all broke down
May the spirit of good brethren turn you around
And may the devil's evil eye pass you right by
Don't you look back, my friend
And may the sisters of good charity take you in
[Verse 3]
Through summers long and winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune be a constant and a loyal friend
And may your winning streak, may it never end
May your winning streak, may it never end
May your winning streak, may it never end
