Sarah McLachlan Good Enough (live acoustic guitar on the World Cafe, March 1994)

Sarah performed a three song solo set on acoustic guitar for this World Cafe interview from 1994 - Wait, Good Enough, and Ice. I found this rare interview while organizing my music collection. She is truly a gifted musician whom I've had the great pleasure of seeing live many times over the years, including her recent Hollywood Bowl appearance in Los Angeles. Enjoy!

(P.S. I uploaded this song in stereo, so the sound quality is greatly improved. The original version was in mono.)

~~~~~~~~~~

Hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way home
why don't you let me take you
it's no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
but you seemed so real to me
after all the bullshit I've heard
it's refreshing not to see
I don't have to pretend
she doesn't expect it from me

Don't tell me I haven't been good to you
don't tell me I have never been there for you
don't tell me why
nothing is good enough

Hey little girl would you like some candy
your momma said that it's OK
The door is open come on outside
no I can't come out today
it's not the wind that cracked your shoulder
and threw you to the ground
who's there that makes you so afraid
you're shaken to the bone?
You know I don't understand
you deserve so much more than this

So don't tell me why
he's never been good to you
don't tell me why
he's never been there for you
don't you know that why
is simply not good enough

So just let me try
and I will be good to you
just let me try
and I will be there for you
I'll show you why
you're so much more than good enough
