Genuine Good

from Delicious Days by Woody Russell

/

lyrics

I'm not holding out much hope for sleeping like a babe in arms tonight
I'm not holding back any punches if the heartless want to pick a fight

Oh, but I still need to believe
Yes, I still need to believe
In some kind of love that can bring a man down to one knee
In a little genuine good

I'm not holding out for compassion to put an end to greed behind locked doors
I'm not clinging to some notion that love always prevails on the killing floors

Oh, but I still need to believe
Yes, I still need to believe
In some kind of love that can bring a man down to one knee
In a little genuine good

It might be found in her tiny eyes
It might be drifting in night time skies
Might be hidden in a perfect mistake
Might be inspired where the headwaters break
Might be discovered in one more try
Might only be heard in a baby's cry
Might set free some kind of revolution
Might give rise to a fair solution
Well, it might be present in a lover's touch
It might come to light in busting the corrupt
Might surface a phoenix from ash and dust
It might only survive as a matter of trust

Oh, but I still need to believe
Yes, I still need to believe
In some kind of love that can bring a man down to one knee
In a little genuine good

Songcraft distilled from the warmth of vinyl album era singer-songwriters & blue-jazz, artfully mining elements of dreamy post-punk. Add then a masterful guitarist - one whom Blues Revue aligned with the "fearlessness" of guitar legend, Jeff Beck. ... more
