Way It Goes

Lyrics for Way It Goes

God bless a child who don't have a mother To put her fast asleep God bless a father who's lost his lover For whom he sold a key Sometimes it takes more than just walking away To find you've lost Sometimes it doesn't take a good friend to say "It's just time and it's gone, but that's the way it goes" It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes You can throw a penny into the Indian Ocean And jump right in Three wise men can tap you on the shoulder You jump right in Sometimes it takes more than just throwing it all away To find you've lost Sometimes it doesn't take a genius to say "It's just time and it's gone, but that's the way it goes" It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes Close your eyes with all your might She's not there Reach into the blinding light She's still not there You made your choice now, live with it It's all you've got Sometimes it doesn't take an image in the mirror to say "It's just time and it's gone, but that's the way it goes" It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes
