Best of Intentions

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The man in the hallway is cleaning up grief While travelers chase after time like a thief With oversized bags they wait for relief in the dawn Ah, the best of intentions all get up and leave before long [Verse 2] And the highway is frozen with cold working stiffs Who sit in their well-heated cars tightly lipped And wait for the light to change red to green then move on Ah, the best of intentions all get up and leave before long [Bridge] Sooner or later the good and the bad All end up being just times that we had Don't take it too hard Thinking you figured it wrong [Verse 3] The sun went away and it ain't coming back It would be a shame if you forgot how to laugh It would be a shame turning your back on a song Ah, the best of intentions all get up and leave before long [Bridge] I told you I loved you and tried not to cry I told you the angels all know how to fly Cross my heart This ain't goodbye, just so long [Verse 4] Red sky at night is a sailor's delight So I put on my skates and I'm crossing the ice Holding my breath, I think once or twice about God Ah, the best of intentions all get up and leave before long [Verse 5] The man in the hallway is cleaning up grief And the faithful will always fall back on belief I wish there was something I could believe to belong Whoa, the best of intentions all get up and leave before long Yeah, the best of intentions all get up and leave before long [Outro] Mmm, mmm, yeah
