Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
She painted a bull's eye on my mind
No matter how I moved her aim was never high
I guess that was what I needed at the time

[Chorus]
A good woman is hard to find
A good woman is hard to find
A good woman is hard to find
A good woman is hard to find

[Verse 2]
She was heavy, on the back beat
She played me just like a tambourine
Well, she took me to church, prayed till it hurt

[Chorus]
A good woman is hard to find
A good woman is hard to find
I'll live to love another one more time
A good woman is hard to find

[Bridge]
She was a helluva woman, from a helluva town
She took me all the way, it was a long way down
She makes me wonder, wonder, all day long
Can a good woman, ever be found?
Can a good woman, never be found?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
She was beauty and adventure
She seemed so glad to be alive
I want to be happy, but not all the time

[Chorus]
A good woman is hard to find
A good woman is hard to find
I'll live to love another one more time
A good woman is hard to find

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
She wrapped me up
Saved me for later
Left me no way to penetrate her
Guess that was what I needed at the time

[Chorus]
A good woman is hard to find
A good woman is hard to find
I'll live to love another one more time
A good woman is hard to find

Album review @ [ Ссылка ]
Out there: Morphine formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1989 and gained a cult status among students who heard the band on their college radio stations and read about them in the alternative press. The group continued to build to its fan base through endless touring and word of mouth, and by 1999, was on verge of attaining a plateau that seemed beyond its cool, retro-yet-oddly contemporary sound. But in July of that year, Sandman suffered a fatal heart attack on stage in Italy. “The Night” was issued in 2000.

On “The Night,” the core instrumentation was augmented by discrete piano, organ, strings and percussion; a female choir fit nicely above the backbeat on one tune and on another sang drolly, “I’m like a mirror: I’m nothing until you look at me.” “Rope on Fire” featured Sandman’s acoustic guitar. Songs were built around Sandman’s lyrics, which in turn melded into the commanding, relentless music, forming the perfect marriage of sound and words to create a cohesive result. Sandman’s voice often seemed to float from the ether as he narrated yet another dark scene.

“The Night” contained some of Morphine’s best songs, the kind that insinuated into the subconscious. Sandman’s lyrics here were noir gems: “If I could only remember the name that’s enough for me ‘cause names hold the key.” Or “You’re a bedtime story, one who keeps the curtains closed.” “Ramona and a man do a tango dip, cheek to cheek, hip to hip.” Or “No, there’s nothing too romantic about the way we met/That’s not to say it doesn’t make a certain sense.”

Understated and exceedingly clever, “The Night” encouraged investigation of Morphine’s full body of work. But the album was, and remains, worthy on its own.
