Lyrics
MY GOOD COMPANY C. 1997 Sally Fingerett GREEN FINGERS MUSIC, BMI
Sometimes I feel like a candle,
running out of twine,
And I am lost in the darkness,
feeling night blind
And when those clouds and shadows
are closing in on me,
When the dawn is distant,
you?re my good company.
When I walk, trippin? over nothin?
You take my hand, break my fall
I wish for wings, rather be out flying
You remind me first we crawl,
you say ?everybody starts out small?
And when I?m lost on the pathway
stranded on my knees,
You wave me to your doorstep,
you welcome my good company.
BRIDGE:
From some strange and distant town I?m calling
you hear me falling out your words are clear
And I always know those words will hold me
never scold me, words I long to hear.
Cause I?m that aged old sailor,
married to the sea
You?re that deep dark water,
you?re my good company.
And when I cry, you find the beauty in it.
And when I laugh you laugh along,
I?m up to no good, heading down to nowhere,
You?re there to bring me in,
You help me find my way back in.
Cause I?m a lonely sailor,
too many nights at sea
You?re that bright red sunset,
you?re my good company.
