goodtome lyrics and music by puppeteer c)2021

life's been good to me
the same stars are shining
and while pining
over what could be
the bees and trees
keep designing
did i fail to observe
the trail of magic
i walked on
failing words, failing nerves
the scale of tragic
regret to soak on
love can be fickle
one day pour, one day trickle
and one day like this
and one day bliss
one day hell
is paved by failures to hold on to what is true
the seashells
lining the coast sparkle in the sun
for me and you
they're not done
when life is through

life's been good to me
it's not the sad song
it's the seeing
the whole of which all living things belong
and the courage of being
and sometimes love can ease
the pain of life
in struggle
and some words can appease
the strain and strife
that we juggle
and your mother's smile
you can see it
on your lover
before their mood turns vile
and self-obsessed
and then it's over
and then they see you as the cause of all their woes and turn away
we start a child of golden wonder
and we end a thunder
gray
unless we find a way
