When all the worst we fear lets fall its weig ht
When the gyre widens on and when the wa ve breaks
When St. Peter loses cool and bars t he gates
When A tlas acts the maggot makes his a rms shake
When the birds are heard again in their s ingin'
Once atrocity is hoarse from voic in' shame
And when the earth is trembling on some new beg innin'
With the s ame sweet shock of when Adam first came
B e be be be be
B e as you've always been
B e be be be be
B e as you've always been
(Lover be good to me)
Be as you've always been (Lover be good to me)
Be like the love that discovered the sin (Lover be good to me)
That f reed the first man and will d o so again
And l over be good to me (Lover be good to me)
Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover be good to me)
It's b een deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed (Lover be good to me)
Which s ide of the wall really s uffers that cost?
Oh l over be good to me

When the man who gives the order
Is b orn next time 'round on the boat sent back
When the b odies starvin' at the border
Are on T V givin' people the s ack
Oh when the s ea rises to meet us
Oh when there's n othin' left for you and I to do
Oh when there's nob ody upstairs to receive us
When I have n o kind words left love for y ou
B e be be be be
B e as you've always been
B e be be be be
B e as you've always been
(Lover be good to me)
Ah be love in its disrepute (Lover be good to me)
Scorches the hillside and salts every root (Lover be good to me)
And w atches the slowin' and st arvin' of troops
And l over be good to me (Lover be good to me)
Be there and just as you stand (Lover be good to me)
Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand (Lover be good to me)
That will grow b old in a barren and d esolate land
Oh l over be good to me
Love won't you b e
Love won't you be
Be as you've a lways been?
Love won't you b e
Love won't you b e
Be as you've a lways been?
Love won't you b e
Love won't you be
Be as you've a lways been?
Love won't you b e
Love won't you b e
Be as you've a lways been?
