Yaki Margulies - Saint Good Woman

I always end up looking a gift horse in the mouth
I turn down warm beds when the birds are flying south
I find my Eden, then I cast myself out
How can I ever be certain when I’m so full of doubt?
We’ve got a good thing, baby, going on
But let me tell you that it won’t be long
‘Til I start thinking that there’s something wrong
And though I do it to myself, I know I’m already gone
Oh, I love Good Woman and she keeps me feeling fine
A stabilizing angel, introducing the divine
She’s the St. Good Woman, but I’m looking for a sign
Something that might ring out for all time, or hang us on the line
Your heart might follow a more bygone command
One young decision and our whole lives are planned
Lay down your chisel, there’s no one-night stands
Just a series of unspoken dreams for some Promised Land
We both know how wonderful you are
Your smile’s easy, but your love is hard
And I’m not here to make any new scars
I’m just scared of growing older when I haven’t come too far
Oh, I love Good Woman and she keeps me feeling fine
A stabilizing angel, introducing the divine
She’s the St. Good Woman, but I’m looking for a sign
A stained-glass revelation that will shine steady through the lies
Steady through the lies I’ve told myself
We’ve got a good thing, baby, going on
But let me tell you that it won’t be long
‘Til I start thinking that there’s something wrong
And though you want it to work out, I know it’s already gone
Oh, I loved Good Woman and she kept me feeling fine
A stabilizing agent, counterfeiting the divine
She’s the St. Good Woman, but I’m not the saintly kind
She thought she was a martyr for our time, but perhaps she just went blind
We would have withered on the vine
And so I cut the line
