[Intro] [Verse 1] I wash the floor before the light I know which stones are loose I know the hour the shadow leaves The northern colonnade I am trusted with the vessels I am trusted with the flame I have never once been careless And nobody has to check [Chorus] This is a good life This is a good life I am useful and I'm quiet And the door is always open This is a good life [Verse 2] They tell me that I'm beautiful The way you'd tell a room It has good light It does not mean anything yet I sleep behind the storeroom I wake before the birds There is water in the courtyard And it makes a decent sound [Chorus] This is a good life This is a good life I am useful and I'm quiet And the door is always open This is a good life [Outro] The door is always open The door is always open
