Finally Something Good - Paul Kelly

You’re a long cool drink of water on a blazing summer’s day

You’re autumn trees undressing in the month of May

Even in the winter-time, we don’t have to turn on the heat

You’re early spring-time blossoms floating on my street

Long, dark days have been withstood

Now there’s a change in my neighbourhood

Finally, something good

On my lonely island, every day I walked the strand

Mine the only footprints on the sand

It seemed that I would always be way beyond the pale

Until the day I saw your distant sail

I lit the fire from wild wood

You saw the plume, oh, you understood

Finally, something good

Finally, something good

Long, dark days have been withstood

Now there’s a change in the neighbourhood

Finally, something good

Finally, something good

Finally, something good

Something good, this way comes

Something good, this way comes

Something good, this way comes

This way comes, this way comes

This way comes, this way comes

Something good
