[00:01.08]Oh God Babe, you've been good for me
[00:08.01]Good when I been barely holding on
[00:10.11]and you did what you could for me
[00:19.23]When all the ones I counted on were gone
[00:31.47]You picked me up in your battered blue
[00:33.36]Volkswagen, babe
[00:37.71]You laid me down on the mattress on the
[00:39.84]floor that was your bed
[00:43.77]Some wisdom in you told you
[00:45.75]ministering to my body
[00:49.92]Brought a temporary respite to the
[00:52.62]demons that were screaming in my head
[00:59.16]Oh God Babe, you've been good for me
[01:05.16]Good when I been barely holding on
[01:07.20]and you did what you could for me
[01:15.51]When all the ones I counted on were gone
[01:23.19]You see it was not the things you told
[01:23.97]me
[01:25.59]Though what you told me served to
[01:27.48]make me smile
[01:30.06]You just knew enough to hold me, and
[01:34.11]in holding me you held off the night
[01:39.90]a little while.
[01:45.03]You had a beach and a cottage and
[01:47.49]some nights that were free
[01:51.33]You had those eyes that smiled in a
[01:54.00]dream
[01:57.48]But I was lost, confused and still you
[02:00.60]seemed to see
[02:03.63]How I was tired of running rapids, I
[02:06.24]was trying to find an island in the stream
[02:11.70]Oh God Babe, you've been good for me
[02:18.84]Good when I been barely holding on
[02:20.88]and you did what you could for me
[02:29.10]When all the ones I counted on were gone
[02:36.36]You see it was not the things you told
[02:37.68]me
[02:39.12]Though what you told me served to
[02:40.92]make me smile
[02:43.14]You just knew enough to hold me, and
[02:49.50]in holding me you held off the night
[03:03.57]a little while.

Oh God Babe, you've been good for me
Good when I been barely holding on
and you did what you could for me
When all the ones I counted on were gone
You picked me up in your battered blue
Volkswagen, babe
You laid me down on the mattress on the
floor that was your bed
Some wisdom in you told you
ministering to my body
Brought a temporary respite to the
demons that were screaming in my head
Oh God Babe, you've been good for me
Good when I been barely holding on
and you did what you could for me
When all the ones I counted on were gone
You see it was not the things you told
me
Though what you told me served to
make me smile
You just knew enough to hold me, and
in holding me you held off the night
a little while.
You had a beach and a cottage and
some nights that were free
You had those eyes that smiled in a
dream
But I was lost, confused and still you
seemed to see
How I was tired of running rapids, I
was trying to find an island in the stream
Oh God Babe, you've been good for me
Good when I been barely holding on
and you did what you could for me
When all the ones I counted on were gone
You see it was not the things you told
me
Though what you told me served to
make me smile
You just knew enough to hold me, and
in holding me you held off the night
a little while.
