don't let a good thing go

if you find a love that's strong and true

you don't want to lose it

with tender kindness surrounding you

don't refuse it

you might think to look around

you don't want to be tied down

there's just one thing you should know

don't let a good thing go

once i held all riches in my hands?

but i held them cheap

i wandered through a milk and honey land

but i wandered asleep

i woke up on stony ground

all i knew in pieces around

now there's just one thing that i know

don't let a good thing go

soon you'll be standing out in the pouring rain

with no-one else to blame

you'll understand then there's no way home again

and no place to hide your shame

you might think to look around

you don't want to be tied down

you'll wake up on stony ground

all you know in pieces around

there's just one thing you should know

don't let a good thing go

soon you'll be standing out in the pouring rain

soon you'll be standing out in the pouring rain

you'll understand then there's no way home again
