The Wildbirds - Where Has Goodness Gone lyrics

Mother, she told me, son It's time to come home Time moves so slow while you're gone But I just lay in bed and watch the time grow She said I know, I know People are skipping town The priestess is on the ground Where has goodness gone? I've been saving my money up To buy a six-string 'Cause nobody sings Like they're living or dying no more Lately I lay in bed and watch the world turn So soon shall it burn People are skipping town My father's fortunes drowned Where has goodness gone?
