Be

[00:22.32] When all the worst we fear lets fall its weight
[00:27.08] When the gyre widens on and when the wave breaks
[00:32.75] When St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates
[00:38.32] When Atlas acts the maggot, makes his arms shake
[00:43.31] When the birds are heard again in their singin'
[00:47.72] Once atrocity is hoarse from voicin' shame
[00:52.79] And when the earth is trembling on some new beginnin'
[00:58.27] With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came
[01:03.25]
[01:06.25] Be, be, be, be, be
[01:11.74] Be as you've always been
[01:16.31] Be, be, be, be, be
[01:21.35] Be as you've always been
[01:25.01] (Lover, be good to me)
[01:27.58] Be as you've always been (Lover, be good to me)
[01:31.36] Be like the love that discovered the sin (Lover, be good to me)
[01:35.38] That freed the first man, would do so again
[01:40.34] And, lover, be good to me
[01:43.99] (Lover, be good to me)
[01:45.32] Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover, be good to me)
[01:49.55] It's been deaf to our laughter
[01:52.06] Since the master was crossed (Lover, be good to me)
[01:54.51] Which side of the wall really suffers that cost?
[01:58.85] Oh, lover, be good to me
[02:03.39]
[02:12.75] When the man who gives the order
[02:18.03] Is born next time 'round on the boat sent back
[02:22.78] When the bodyies starvin' at the boarder
[02:27.74] Are on TV givin' people the sack
[02:31.89] Oh, when the sea rises to meet us
[02:37.02] Oh, when there's nothin' left for you and I to do
[02:41.54] Oh, when there's nobody upstairs to receive us
[02:47.08] When I have no kind words left, love for you
[02:53.95]
[02:57.25] Be, be, be, be, be
[03:02.53] Be as you've always been
[03:07.03] Be, be, be, be, be
[03:12.38] Be as you've always been
[03:16.05] (Lover, be good to me)
[03:16.75] Ah, be love in its disrepute (Lover, be good to me)
[03:22.07] Scorches the hillside
[03:24.02] And salts every root (Lover, be good to me)
[03:26.01] And watches the slowin'
[03:28.51] And starvin' of troops
[03:31.04] And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
[03:36.56] Be there and you stare as you stand (Lover, be good to me)
[03:41.02] Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand
[03:44.72] That will grow bold in a battered and desolate land
[03:50.03] Oh, lover, be good to me
[03:53.71] Love, won't you be
[03:56.37] Love, won't you be
[03:58.82] Be as you've always been?
[04:03.53] Love, won't you be
[04:06.03] Love, won't you be
[04:08.58] Be as you've always been?
[04:13.05] Love, won't you be
[04:15.59] Love, won't you be
[04:17.54] Be as you've always been?
[04:22.29] Love, won't you be
[04:24.77] Love, won't you be
[04:27.28] Be as you've always been?
[04:30.88]
