You could take this for granted, Or you could take it so hard Nothing's ever forgotten That you write on your arm Like a long list of groceries Or errands to run; You feel so accomplished, Check them off, one by one And the shopping cart's swerving From a wobbling wheel Just a very small thing Makes it so hard to steer And under hot running water, See your day disappear If you don't know they're coming, It gets hard to go on But it makes you glad you decided To be alive It's good to know when good things It's good to know when good things It's good to know when good things will Arrive Am i beating a live horse? Is this the wrong way To stop things from moving, To stop all the neighs? You should meet me in london Where the bright goes grey And the little birds dance At the side of the lake They can keep you from leaving, Though they haven't arrived Just the thought is enough To keep you alive It's good to know when good things It's good to know when good things It's good to know when good things will Arrive
