Good Comet

from New Northbound by Tyler Stenson

/

about

A resolutely circular song about elusive Love and how with a little luck (and a lot of hope), every once in a while it comes around.

lyrics

Every once in a while it comes around;
A blazing comet you can see from the ground.
Man, it draws a line across your sky
And everything changes in the blink of an eye.

Every once in a while it spits a spark
And all at once you can see in the dark
What was gray is now vivid and bright
Now that it’s bathed in a remarkable light.

It’s out there circling the sky
And I would have thought
It would have come down by now.
A good comet is so hard to find
But [I found] every once in a while it comes around.

All my heart is held in the hope.

It’s out there circling the sky
And I would have thought
It would have come down by now.
A good comet is so hard to find
But [I found] every once in a while it comes around.

So, I once pretended the sunrise
Was a long-lost lover found—
A good comet is so hard to find
But [I found] every once in a while it comes around.

But every once in a while it comes around;
An easy rain on an easy town
And you hold out your hand just to catch the drops
And you look to find that it’s a comet you caught.

All my heart is held in the hope.
