Be of Good Heart - Josh Ritter

I never had a crystal ball

I never had a crystal stone

I never claimed to know it all

All I know is what I’ve known

But I know that what we’ve had

I have never had before

So if you really wanna go

Be of good heart evermore

I hear the wild dog in the dark

I hear the wind out in the pines

But there’s no travel near or far

Without the crossing of my mind

Still the reflection of your eyes

Shows a road stretched out before me

And if you really wanna go

Be of good heart evermore

I don’t know nothing 'bout where you’re goin'

That don’t mean a thing to me

You have secrets I don’t know

And I have scars that you can’t read

I know your past ain’t far behind

I hear it knocking on your door

And if you really wanna go

Be of good heart evermore

And I know that I just may

Have been a way to pass your time

Just a stop along your way

As you were a stop on mine

But even so it’d still be worth

All the loneliness in store

And if you really wanna go

Be of good heart evermore

Be of good heart evermore
