Good Thing

Well I've heard enough
And I've seen enough
And I know enough to know...
I know a good thing when I see it
And it's a bad thing to let go.
Well I've been around
I've been up and down
Until I bent out of control.
With your world all in motion,
'gotta put a ball
And a chain on your soul.
All those angels running,
Picking up the pieces,
Putting back together
Hearts broke long ago.
I know a good thing when I see it,
And it's a bad thing to let go
There will always be lovers
With borders of their own,
And you may charge across
In a golden chariot,
But you will never be at home
'Cause I had dreams
Like distant thunder;
I had hope like a prayer unheard.
And this nothing less than perfect
In a less than perfect world.
All those angels running,
Picking up the pieces,
Putting back together
Hearts broke long ago.
I know a good thing when I see it,
And it's a bad thing to let go.
