I’m going for the good life,
I’ve got to get away,
I’m going for the good life,
Nothing can make me stay,
I’ve seen dreams of green and yellow,
I watched them burn,
I’ve watched them mellow.

And I know when I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life.

I’m going for the good life,
Gonna get me out of here,
I’m going for the good life,
Oh I ain’t got no fear,
I’ve been yearning for some new learning,
I got this feeling,
That I’m no longer dreaming.

Cos I know when I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life.

These wings can’t stop flying,
See that break in the cloud,
Has got me feeling proud,
I found a place I got to get high in,
I’m doing everything I should,
I know that this has got to be good.

Now I know that I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life.

Weather man,
Up in the sky,
Do you float or do you fly?
Gold and grey - you look so strong,
Mighty,
But never there for long.

Weather man,
Towering tall,
A countenance to rule us all,
A slice of hope, a glimmer of heaven,
Angels inside,
Won’t you let down a rope?

Weather man,
In your bed of blue,
May I climb up and be with you?
Wish I could steal a little thunder,
And get out from under,
The might of your hand.

Weather man,
Do you cry?
Silver teardrops tumble by,
Bless us now with one more kiss,
Then strike me down,
As you turn the skies around.

When you remember this song,
I’ll be long gone,
But I’m not leaving you today.

You may shed a tear,
To find that I’m not here,
But I’m not leaving you today.

The hands of fate,
Have left me running late,
When I should be on my way.

And though in my heart,
I am ready to depart,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’ve been steady as a rock,
Just sitting on the dock,
So I’m not leaving you today.

Well I know that I will cry,
When it’s time to say goodbye,
But I’m not leaving you today.

So please don’t fear,
As the day draws near,
We’ll watch the tide roll away.

For there will always be a spark,
However far apart,
And I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you today.
