[Intro: cold sparse Hammond B3, audible key-click, slow Leslie swirl, dry room tone, restrained organ-led mix] [Verse 1] The streetlight bends across the floor Too tired now to want much more Wore this day down to bone Still got back still got home Small mean wins still count hard still count here in the dark [Pre-Chorus: sustained Hammond bed, close Leslie texture, fuller vocal phrasing] I’m not asking for a cleaner soul not tonight, not anymore Just a chair, a glass, a little smoke and some kind of peace behind the door [Hook / Chorus: fuller, wider, more melodic, still restrained] It was good enough for the dark good enough to hold my heart Didn’t rise, didn’t fall apart it was good enough for the dark Let the night have what it wants from me I have already played my part Not a hymn and not a rescue line just good enough for the dark [Verse 2: clipped, mantra-like, organ-led] The room stays still the room stays kind Holds what’s left I left behind No loud blaze no bright remark Just one breath inside the dark Quiet landings still count too When the day runs through you [Pre-Chorus: same lush lift] I’m not hunting some higher ground not tonight, not anymore Just a little truth that doesn’t shout and some kind of peace behind the door [Hook / Chorus: same size, slight lyric variation] It was good enough for the dark good enough to leave a mark Didn’t shine, didn’t fall apart it was good enough for the dark Let the night take what it wants from me I have already done my part Not a prayer and not a broken sign just good enough for the dark [Bridge: minimal but melodic, no build] A man gets tired of polishing pain Until it glows like holy rain No rescue line no sacred spark Just this chair and this dark [Final Hook: same emotional width, no big lift] It was good enough for the dark good enough to hold my heart Didn’t rise, didn’t fall apart it was good enough for the dark Let the night have what it wants from me I have already played my part No grand truth in what I am tonight just good enough for the dark [Outro: Hammond B3 alone in foreground, slow Leslie, key-click audible, calm smoky fade] Good enough good enough for the dark Good enough just enough for the dark
