12 • SOMETHING GOOD

Jan Leyers


I just got your message
sure we can be friends
I’ll crawl back in my hamster wheel again

I heard how well you’re doing
it’s nice to know you’re fine
to know your problems ain’t no longer mine

something good is bound to happen someday
something good is gonna come my way
something good before this trip is over
and it all comes back to me
and it all comes back to me

reread all your letters
burnt them one by one
all your clevers metaphors are gone

I’m sick and tired of digging
of freezing in the rain
hoping for a break but just hitting pain

something good is bound to happen someday
something good is gonna come my way
something good before this trip is over
it’ll all come back to me
it’ll all come back to me

something good before this trip is over
