“Good Night Wish” Lyrics

I’ve tried not to experience time in the same way. Once, twice, walked that delirious line down a good day. “Good night.” I wish my mama good night. “Good night.” I wish my baby good night. “Good night.” I wish my old man good night. “Good night.” I wish my dead friend good night.

I’ll strive not to forget to be blind. On a bright street, headlights knocking the stars from my eyes – so near and deadly. Crossing, my but this river is wide. My but this night is a good night. I wish my angel good night. “Good night.” I wish my habits good night. “Good night.” I wish the whole world good night.

But, no, I don’t remember. No, I won’t remember. You’ve been asking me forever. You know I don’t remember. You know I can’t remember. Can’t you see me running towards the future? Everything gets better, babe. And better.

“Good night.”
I wish my sister good night.
My city good night.
My country better nights.

But, no, I won’t remember. Know right now, I won’t remember. It was a night not unlike this one here that took our dear friend under. You were born a fighter, he was born your lover, and I am running because certain things we never will recover. We never will recover. We’ll try.

Good night. “Good night, sweet shadow, good night.”
I wish you, always, good night.
