Laura Veirs - Make Something Good Lyrics






I wanted to make something sweet
The blood inside a maple tree
The sunlight trapped inside the wood
Make something good

I wanted to make something strong
An organ pipe in a cathedral
That stays in tune through a thousand blooms
Make something good

It's a gonna take a long, long time
But we're gonna make something so fine

I wanted to make something pure
An emerald field from steer manure
A wild-eyed child in a moonlit room
Make something good

I wanted to make something built to last
A bottled ship with a golden mast
And through the squall the course stays true
Make something good
Make something good

It's gonna take a long, long time
But we're gonna make something so fine
It's gonna take a long, long time
But we're gonna make something so fine

    How is it possible this absolute masterpiece has no comments yet? This is one of those songs that randomly shows up in my head for hours on end, snippets of it run on loop through and through. It is...eternal and timeless, getting to the core of, something I can't quite name, dammit I just love this song so much, thank you for it.
