Good News

Emmylou Harris · White Shoes [Warner Bros] [1983]

(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...
