Finally Something Good
[Verse 1]
You’re a long cool drink of water on a blazing summer’s day
You’re autumn trees undressing in the month of May
Even in the winter-time, we don’t have to turn on the heat
You’re early spring-time blossoms floating on my street

[Pre-Chorus]
Long, dark days have been withstood
Now there’s a change in my neighbourhood

[Chorus]
Finally, something good

[Verse 2]
On my lonely island, every day I walked the strand
Mine the only footprints on the sand
It seemed that I would always be way beyond the pale
Until the day I saw your distant sail

[Pre-Chorus]
I lit the fire from wild wood
You saw the plume, oh, you understood

[Chorus]
Finally, something good
Finally, something good
[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Long, dark days have been withstood
Now there’s a change in the neighbourhood

[Chorus]
Finally, something good
Finally, something good
Finally, something good

[Outro]
Something good, this way comes
Something good, this way comes
Something good, this way comes
This way comes, this way comes
This way comes, this way comes
Something good
