Say your rosary for me
one time, just count along the beads
may your prayers ring out in peace
as they float into the mist
like a lifeboat lost at sea
I was climbing on the roof,
I was hanging from the eaves
they were all filled up with leaves
and the breeze was blowing by
it was rushing through the trees
sounding like a symphony,
at least it did to me
and I was laying in the grass
and the clouds were rolling past
you were sitting on my knees
looking right into my eyes
telling me your little lies
but that was good enough for me
if it's good enough for you
then it's good enough for me
that's really all I need
if it's good enough for you
then it's good enough for me
that's really all I need
there were scratches on the chairs
the chairs were scratching up the floors
and the floors had just been cleaned
the lamps were full of dust
hinges eaten up by rust
dusk was falling on the street
i went walking down a lane
saw a garden in the shade
people unwinding from their week
a group of friends was drinking wine
they were getting high
they never noticed me
I thought I might not ever go back home
but I came back and you were waiting up for me
i didn't mean to make you cry girl
you know i lose my mind sometimes
but you help me find it when I'm lost and weak
when I'm lost at sea
seems every single week
if it's good enough for you
then it's good enough for me
that's really all i need
if it's good enough for you
then it's good enough for me
that's really all i need
people saying what they feel
is not always what they mean
that's why we learn to read
the glimmer in the eye,
the gentle quiver of the cheek,
the pause before you speak
the things that people want
aren't always what they need
aren't always what they seem
the words that people say
aren't always what they feel
aren't always what they mean
if it's good enough for you
then it's good enough for me
that's really all i need
