I don’t think this works as well as “No Christmas Tree For Me 2013,” but, anyway -- maybe I should ‘be inspired’ * cough, cough * by McCartney more often, huh? Inspired by Billy Joel’s “Only The Good Die Young” -- well, at least, the title. :p Does the “Billy” in the first line refer to Billy Joel or Billy Graham? Wouldn’t you like to know? Boy, being a poet is fun!
Tell me, Billy, tell me the way
I pray in your church every day
Never met a blind man who was not OK
Why do the good go blind?
Please tell me the answer before it’s too late
I sit and wonder full of hate
What can I do to avoid my fate?
Why do the good go blind?
So many questions, too little time
The answers, I can’t find
Why do the good go blind?
Oh, why do the good go blind?
There are times…
When I want to rip this veil away
But I know it’s here to stay
No matter how good I am…
Why do the good go blind?
Hey, why do the good go blind?
I really want to know, why, why do the good go blind?
