The Good Life

Sally tells have longed for love, it started in New Amsterdam
She’s gone, gone through change
Gone through planes and magazines, and that is all
The church bells ringing through her head
Some live life through the dotted line
Some make the safe bet sounding off
The good life, the one life, the whole life, the old life
The lasting single solitary world that you will know
The good life, the one life, the whole life, the old life
The lasting single solitary world that you will know
This counsel’s faltered enough
And shadows drag through the dusk
And that’s the way it always goes down
Now this counsel’s faltered enough
Back through the sin that you trust
And that’s the way it always, always goes
Chasing dreams and signing off, through the haze that’s given up
She’s gone, gone through change
Gone through flood and hurricane, and that is all
Sheltered victory’s defeat
A martyr for belief in time
A martyr for a belief in life
The good life, the one life, the whole life, the old life
The lasting single solitary world that you will know
The good life, the one life, the whole life, the old life
The lasting single solitary world that you will know
This counsel’s faltered enough
And shadows drag through the dusk
And that’s the way it always goes down
Now this counsel’s faltered enough
Back through the sin that you trust
And that’s the way it always, always goes
Our winter is long, too long for us every year
And our blood is ice, ice just like the roadway glare
The poor man survives, the rich man sheds many tears
Whoever we are, we wish to God we were better here
And no I won’t say that, no I won’t be there
I’m not the answer, I don’t see clear
Always goes down, always goes down
I don’t know (I told you), myself (I told you), myself (I told you)
This counsel’s faltered enough
And shadows drag through the dusk
And that’s the way it always goes down
Now this counsel’s faltered enough
Back through the sin that you trust
And that’s the way it always, always goes
Always goes down, always goes down
Always goes down, always goes down
I don’t know (I told you), myself (I told you), myself (I told you)
And days feel like years
