about

What it's like to be good

lyrics

Small kindnesses, the shelter of a tree
You gave me bread when I had nothing to eat
A sympathetic ear is sometimes all you need
A sympathetic word to ease the pain of defeat

I think that I know now
There are things that leave no doubt
Who stays and bandages your wounds when you bleed?
Who holds your hand in your time of need?

Convalescent hours passing so slow
Watching winter swans landing on snow
Let nature run its course let river water flow
You opened up your door to those you didn’t know

I think that I know now
These things that leave no doubt
Who stays and bandages your wounds when you bleed?
Who holds your hand in your time of need?

When you’re gone will we remember you?
When you’re gone what good did you do?
When you’re gone you live on in our minds
When you’re gone you leave our thoughts behind

I feel the life begin to stir in me again
The beating of my heart I measure while I count to ten
To you I owe my health, to you I owe my strength
And as I take my leave I look back upon a friend

I think that I know now
The things that leave no doubt
Who stays and bandages your wounds when you bleed?
I think you know now
