The Good Life
If I see another sunset
I will look until I've learned
If I hear another songbird
I will write down every word
When I feel the seas beneath me
I'll let her roll me in her sway
And I'll have me the good life that way
If I smell the bloom of jasmine
I will float upon her dream
If I taste the oil of Lesbos
I will lick my fingers clean
If I watch everything that flies
And still remain amazed
I can have me the good life all my days
If I set my brother's table
Then we all join in the feast
If I hate those that I cannot love
Then I live a lie at least
If I drink the wine of Bacchus
I can throw aside regrets
I can have me the good life yet
I want to see flamenco dancers
Move like tongues of flame in firelight
I want to hear haunted confessions
Of the blues after midnight
Want to taste the salt of living
Take it with me to eternity
I want to feel the sheets slip slowly from your curves
When you press them into me
If I roll a stone like Jesus
And resurrect my heart
Be the captain of my spirit
Sail on with a brand new chart
If every word I've said in anger
Could come back to me unused
Then I could have me the good life too
I could have me the good life too
