Oh God Babe, you've been good for me 
Good when I been barely holding on 
and you did what you could for me 
When all the ones I counted on were gone 
You picked me up in your battered blue  
Volkswagen, babe 
You laid me down on the mattress on the  
floor that was your bed 
Some wisdom in you told you 
ministering to my body 
Brought a temporary respite to the 
demons that were screaming in my head 
Oh God Babe, you've been good for me 
Good when I been barely holding on 
and you did what you could for me 
When all the ones I counted on were gone 
You see it was not the things you told  
me 
Though what you told me served to 
make me smile 
You just knew enough to hold me, and 
in holding me you held off the night 
a little while. 
You had a beach and a cottage and  
some nights that were free 
You had those eyes that smiled in a  
dream 
But I was lost, confused and still you 
seemed to see 
How I was tired of running rapids, I 
was trying to find an island in the stream 
Oh God Babe, you've been good for me 
Good when I been barely holding on 
and you did what you could for me 
When all the ones I counted on were gone 
You see it was not the things you told  
me 
Though what you told me served to 
make me smile 
You just knew enough to hold me, and 
in holding me you held off the night 
a little while.
