God Only Knows

	Darkness settles on the ground
	And leaves the day stumbling blind,
	Coming to a quiet close
	And maybe just in time:
	We'd almost lost the heart to know
	How to keep our best in mind,
	We'd almost lost the heart to know
	How to keep our best in mind.
	Time has turned an angry face
	And throws a dark eye back to see
	That what will pass for mercy now
	We practice unforgiving.
	As if might and will mode right
	Or either one could make us free,
	As if might and will made right
	Or either one could make us free.
	Lovers laugh and cross this way
	Weaving out into the street,
	It seems we never were so young
	Or it was never quite so sweet.
	But the world is always beautiful
	When it's seen in full retreat,
	The worst of life looks beautiful
	As it slips away in full retreat.
	God only knows that we can do
	No more or lass than He’ll allow,
	God only knows that we mean well
	God knows that we just don't know how.
	But I'll try to be your light in love
	And pray that is enough for now,
	I'll try to be your light in love
	And pray that is enough for now.
