Schwa Lyrics

So It Goes

Lyricist: John Mullins
Vocalist: John Mullins

Flying through the night
With the candle in her hand
Burning white fire from her heart
So much aware with so much left to learn
Can never end until it starts
And you know she's been gone, very unkind
We were so young
Old life is gone new life remains
If you had your way what would you change?

I don't think there's anything I can do to set things right
A foggy dream all I can do is wake up and see you through these sore eyes
And so it goes
We go so slow who knows
And I'll hold this hand who dealt the cards
I'm hoping that none of this real
I wake up in the morning to find this song
And all the things that we hold dear fly away and disappear
When it came down to this, will you still be there, will you be missed
Oh the summers we've seen
Have we lived through such incredible times
See through affectations to the thoughts hidden behind these sore eyes

And so it goes
We go so slow who knows
And I'll hold this hand who dealt the cards
Growing stories told what of the old God's bod and soul
To break these dreams can't be that hard
Bonds like steel holding my place
Tethered and intertwined, silk and lace
Made in ghosts she breaks through the fog
She is quite innocent, but weren't we all?
Oh yes, so I guess you were I cannot remember just when that changed
She promised freedom asked only for my love in exchange
