Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Good Intentions" lyrics


I asked my heart to talk to my mindThey said don't worry, oh well you're doin' fineI went to the doctor, I said I'm misunderstoodHe said ‘Don't worry, why your intentions are good.'
Now life is a hard school, when you're living a lieTell me who'll bring you water, when your well runs dry?Ah but there's always tomorrow, you'll do the things that you shouldYou're just a sad eyed dreamer, but your intentions are good.
I am a man who keeps his head down in the sandIf the spirit doesn't move you what's the use in making plans?I've been to the mountain, I've been out in the rainI'm a long way from home but I can make it back again.
I asked my heart to talk to my mindThey said don't worry, oh well you're doin' fineI went to the doctor, I said I'm misunderstoodHe said ‘Don't worry, (oh well you know) why your intentions are good.'
(fade)Your intentions are good (yeah)Your intentions are good (yeah)
