|
Oh God Babe, you've been good for me |
|
Good when I been barely holding on |
|
and you did what you could for me |
|
When all the ones I counted on were gone |
|
You picked me up in your battered blue |
|
Volkswagen, babe |
|
You laid me down on the mattress on the |
|
floor that was your bed |
|
Some wisdom in you told you |
|
ministering to my body |
|
Brought a temporary respite to the |
|
demons that were screaming in my head |
|
Oh God Babe, you've been good for me |
|
Good when I been barely holding on |
|
and you did what you could for me |
|
When all the ones I counted on were gone |
|
You see it was not the things you told |
|
me |
|
Though what you told me served to |
|
make me smile |
|
You just knew enough to hold me, and |
|
in holding me you held off the night |
|
a little while. |
|
You had a beach and a cottage and |
|
some nights that were free |
|
You had those eyes that smiled in a |
|
dream |
|
But I was lost, confused and still you |
|
seemed to see |
|
How I was tired of running rapids, I |
|
was trying to find an island in the stream |
|
Oh God Babe, you've been good for me |
|
Good when I been barely holding on |
|
and you did what you could for me |
|
When all the ones I counted on were gone |
|
You see it was not the things you told |
|
me |
|
Though what you told me served to |
|
make me smile |
|
You just knew enough to hold me, and |
|
in holding me you held off the night |
|
a little while. |
