God Only Knows Lyrics - Slipstream - Bonnie Raitt

Darkness settles on the ground 

Leaves the day stumbling blind 

Coming to a quiet close 

And maybe just in time 

We almost lost the heart to know 

How to keep our best in mind 

We almost lost the heart to know 

How to keep our best in mind 

Time has turned an angry face 

Throws a dark eye back to sea 

What will pass for mercy now 

We practice unforgivingly 

As if might and will make right 

Or either one will make us free 

As if might and will make right 

Or either one will make us free 

Lovers laugh and cross this way 

Weaving out and 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 is beautiful 

As it slips away in full retreat

God only knows that we can we do 

No more or less 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 

I'll pray that is enough for now 

I'll pray that is enough for now 

I'll pray that is enough for now 

I'll pray that is enough for now
