Nora Jane Struthers A Good Thing
[Verse 1]
I know a good thing when it comes around
I feel fine fortune when it's staring me down
If I could hold here in this moment and stay
Would I be contented if life never changed?
[Chorus]
I've lived in sorrow, I've slept in pain
I know there's nothing can stay the same
I've danced with trouble, I've walked with fear
I know a good thing's too good to stay here
[Verse 2]
In the quiet of the morning the clothes are all clean
The kettle is puffing out big clouds of steam
You're in the kitchen with a mug in your hand
This might be the happiest I've ever been
[Chorus]
I've lived in sorrow, I've slept in pain
I know there's nothing can stay the same
I've danced with trouble, I've walked with fear
I know a good thing's too good to stay here
[Verse 3]
So I breathe real slowly, try not to stir
The atoms around me or God's wrath incur
Burn every moment I can in my mind
So I can come back here when life's not so kind
[Chorus]
I've lived in sorrow, I've slept in pain
I know there's nothing can stay the same
I've danced with trouble, I've walked with fear
I know a good thing's too good to stay here
I've danced with trouble, I've walked with fear
I know a good thing's too good to stay here
