Good News - Emmylou Harris

(Shirley Eikhard)

Darkness falls and you withdraw 
Your humour disappears 
It's been this way for years 
It's nothing new 
Come around and don't look down 
You'll never see the sun 
You'll never see the one 
Who's loving you 

You've got to hold your head up, darling 
Never let them see 
When you're sad, you look a lot like me 

You've got to want to win my darling 
Or you're bound to lose 
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news 

Now I don't care for sad affairs, 
The outcome's up to you 
If tears are overdue, then let them fall... 

Come around and don't look down 
You'll never see the sun 
You'll never see the one 
Who's loving you 

You've got to hold your head up, darling 
Never let them see 
When you're sad, you look a lot like me 

You've got to want to win my darling 
Or you're bound to lose 
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news 

You've got to want to win my darling 
Or you're bound to lose 
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news 

Good news
