Good Man - Darlingside

She’s walking like the devil went the other way

Walking like she don’t care anyway

Watch her, how she gives herself another day to rest

Say nothing of the trouble she’s in

Nothing of the places she’s been

Only watch her, how she sets the wind on fire

When she says

«Good man, follow where I go

A hundred miles below, honey»

And you’re out the door

Standing by yourself in the cold

Thinking that you’re suddenly too old

To wake up in a story that you never told someone

But still you’re in a still-life she’s drawn

And it’s nothing like the places she’s gone

And you’re hanging by the line that she’s walking on

And she says

«Good man, follow where I go

A hundred miles below, honey

You could be a good man, faithful, on your knees

But I left you hard to please, honey»

And you’re out the door

Taking on a free man’s appeal

Taking on a better man’s feel

Never been a soul didn’t make a one-way deal

Brother, make a wise man out of me

Tell me how it ain’t how it ought to be

It’s just another devil and another deep blue sea…

«Good man, follow where I go

A hundred miles below, honey»

Maybe I could be a good man, faithful, on my knees

But you left me hard to please, honey… and I’m out the door
