LET THE GOOD LORD
LET THE GOOD LORD SHINE A LIGHT ON YOU
There is a patch of light between couch and wall
that keeps catching my eye It is a nostalgic-light late afternoon
Conjuring up rooms I have lived in & people I have
been linked to before my level of trust plummeted
600 metres (in a single day)
And when I stop mesmerized by the glimmering it is as though a switch
has been thrown The one marked: Throwing this switch can prevent darkness
This would be a good time to end the story while we
are all still alive & too big for our boots I heard
on the News last night that there is a 1 in 3 chance
of a meteor crashing through Earth’s atmosphere
(trust plummeted another 200 metres) THROW THE SWITCH

May the good Lord shine a light on you
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun, yeah (The Rolling Stones)
