Subway Stories – The Good Was Gone

March 19, 2010 By Andre Archimbaud

I know
I know enough
I know enough to know

Got to take the good with the bad.
The happy with sad
The white with the black
The tension, the slack

But…the good was gone
The end of a song
End of a time
The good was gone.

Things that had passed
Were in the past.
Things in the future
Stuck in a suture.

The good was gone
It lasted too long
Rage replaced the song
All the good was gone.

Standing on the water’s edge
Creeping towards the brink
Jump before I sink
Refuse to lose the ledge.

I know
I know enough
I know enough to know

Take the good with the bad.
Happy with sad
White with black
Tension to slack

But…the good was gone
The lady has sung
Curtains been drawn
New days will dawn.

sharing is caring!
