Ron Sexsmith - Nothing Good lyrics

He sees it coming from a mile away He knows all the rules by heart and so the game is played He's trading love for this sordid night of bliss Though nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this You've seen how people rise in times of need Forget all their pettiness, forget all their greed But he can't rise above this warm and reckless kiss Though nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this From this only sorrow From this no future, only tomorrows And when the morning comes tumbling down No trace of the night before it's still the same old town But deep inside now hides a stranger in his midst And nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this
