When Things Go Right - John Illsley

Morning blues bad news

A broken coffee maker

Too many holes in the street

Big issues with the papers

Still waiting for the train

There’s trouble on the line

Office lights burn all night

Waiting for some better times

When all is said and done

It’s just moonlight on the water

The perfect invitation

Still remember what she taught you

No need to stretch the rules

When things go right

People see right through you

If you spread yourself too thin

Takes a while to find yourself

But that’s another thing

Blessed with beauty blessed with fame

Life feels on a roll

Someone else will take your space

That’s how the story goes

When all is said and done

It’s just moonlight on the water

The perfect invitation

Still remember what she taught you

No need to stretch the rules

When things go right

No time to take the time

The worlds delivered to your door

Too much haste, too much waste

You can hear the silence roar

When all is said and done

It’s just moonlight on the water

The perfect invitation

Still remember what she taught you

No need to stretch the rules

When things go right
