Love Is A Good Thing

(album: Resurrection Letters, Volume II - 2008)

It knocked me down, it dragged me out, it left me there for dead
It took all the freedom I wanted and gave me something else instead
It blew my mind, it bled me dry, it hit me like a long goodbye
And nobody here knows better than I that it's a good thing

Love is a good thing
It'll fall like rain on your parade
Laugh at the plans that you tried to make
It'll wear you down till your heart just breaks
And it's a good thing
Love is a good thing

It'll wake you up in the middle of the night, it'll take just a little too much
It'll burn you like a cinder till you're tender to the touch
It'll chase you down, and swallow you whole, it'll make your blood run hot and cold
Like a thief in the night it'll steal your soul, and that's a good thing
Love is a good thing

It'll follow you down to the ruin of your great divide
Open the wounds that you tried to hide
And there in the rubble of the heart that died
You'll find a good thing
Cause love is a good thing
Oh love is a good thing

Ooo, take cover
Ooo, the end is near
Ooo, take cover
But do not fear
Do not fear

Cause it'll break your will, it'll change your mind
Loose all the chains of the ties that bind
If you're lucky you'll never make it out alive, and that's a good thing
Love is a good thing

It can hurt like a blast from a hand grenade
When all that used to matter is blown away
There in the middle of the mess it made you'll find a good thing
Yes, it's worth every penny of the price you pay. It's a good thing

Love is a good thing (oo, take cover)
Love is a good thing (oo, the end is near)
Oh love is a good thing (oo, take cover)
Do not fear
