A Good Thing [Acoustic]
Nora Jane Struthers


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?
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
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
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
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
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
