John Illsley When Things Go Right
Morning blues bad news
A broken coffee maker
Too many holes in the street
Big issues with the papers
Still waiting for the train
There's trouble on the line
Office lights burn all night
Waiting for some better times
When all is said and done
It's just moonlight on the water
The perfect invitation
Still remember what she taught you
No need to stretch the rules
When things go right
People see right through you
If you spread yourself too thin
Takes a while to find yourself
But that's another thing
Blessed with beauty blessed with fame
Life feels on a roll
Someone else will take your space
That's how the story goes
When all is said and done
It's just moonlight on the water
The perfect invitation
Still remember what she taught you
No need to stretch the rules
When things go right
No time to take the time
The worlds delivered to your door
Too much haste, too much waste
You can hear the silence roar
When all is said and done
It's just moonlight on the water
The perfect invitation
Still remember what she taught you
No need to stretch the rules
When things go right
