Good Light

I had an inkling this was going to end in tears
 All the drinking - it just confirmed my fears
 I remember thinking
 God, I hope someday you'll see me
 Even briefly
 In a good light
 So I saw it coming
 But a month turned into twelve
 Before I thought of running
 Crying, Darling, save yourself!
 But I did nothing
 Hoping that you'd see me
 Even briefly
 In a good light
 Oh, I'll admit a moment's doubt
 When the candle flickered out
 Yeah, but wait another year
 Seemed such a pale idea
 And darling, it's dark in here
 God, I hope someday you'll see me
 Even briefly
 In a good light
 In a good light
