God Babe You've Been Good To Me Letra

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.
