When all the worst we fear lets fall its weight
When the gyre widens on and when the wave breaks
When St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates
When Atlas acts the maggot, makes his arms shake
When the birds are heard again in their singin'
Once atrocity is hoarse from voicin’ shame
And when the earth is trembling on some new beginnin'
With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came
Pre-Chorus:

Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover, be good to me)
G MajorG
It's been deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed (Lover, be good to me)
C majorC A minorAm
Which side of the wall really suffers that cost?

Oh, lover, be good to me

When the man who gives the order
Is born next time 'round on the boat sent back
When the bodies starvin' at the border
Are on TV givin' people the sack
Oh, when the sea rises to meet us
Oh, when there's nothin' left for you and I to do
Oh, when there’s nobody upstairs to receive us
When I have no kind words left, love for you
