Carry The Good

Chorus Carry the good carry the good Fold it up small in the morning and put it in your coat The day will ask you questions and you'll answer like you should Because you're carrying the good and the good is what you quote Verse 1 By ten o'clock the morning is a country far away Phones and doors and duties and the things that people say So I take a piece of seven the quiet and the shine And I put it somewhere inward somewhere that stays mine Pre-Chorus It fits behind the ribs it travels light and well Chorus Carry the good carry the good Fold it up small in the morning and put it in your coat The day will ask you questions and you'll answer like you should Because you're carrying the good and the good is what you quote Verse 2 And at four when it gets heavy and the room has gone too loud I put my hand inside the pocket and I find the piece of cloud Still warm, still folded still exactly what it was The morning keeps on paying out long after the morning does Pre-Chorus It fits behind the ribs it travels light and well Bridge This is how you win a day you take it from the start You load the good up early and you carry it apart Then whatever comes at noon arrives to find you full And a full man in the afternoon is a man they cannot pull Chorus Carry the good carry the good Fold it up small in the morning and put it in your coat The day will ask you questions and you'll answer like you should Because you're carrying the good and the good is what you quote Outro Fold it small keep it close carry the good
