What Good

Make amends, tell your childhood friend they were something to you
Cos it gets dark,
and when it's so dark you gonna wish for a light or two
No we don't talk like we used to do in the meadows of our youth
But you're a part of the last good
truth 'fore this yellow took my tooth

Time like a howlin' jet plane takin' off for good
I'm but a passenger I never said I understood
What good does the flyin' do, what good?

Here I am standing at the edge of this wooden pier
And through this fog at the
waterfront docks see the ship sails disappear
Yes it is gone to another shore where they sky's shiny, blue and clear
But is it wrong to expect return at the end of a troubled year?

Time like a smokey steam boat takin' off for good
I'm but a passenger I never said I understood
What good does the sailin' do, what good?
What good does the flyin' do, what good?

Rocky road, must I pay your toll every time I ride?
Cos all your street lights lead me
somewhere deep neath the county line
And the song on the radio well it's cuttin' in and out

Time like a racin' speed car takin' off for good
I'm but a passenger I never said I understood
What good does the drivin' do, what good?
What good does the sailin' do, what good?
What good does the flyin' do, what good?
