lyrics

There was this time, when I left him on the corner
In the rain, and it was pouring torrents
In his shame, he knew he'd lost his way and so he's
Walking home again, walking home again
The time, well I guess it was 3 or 4 when
She saw him, and she was feeling pious so
She rolled up to him and offered him a ride now he's
Feelin like a light is shining on his soul and it so it goes

It goes. And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes.
It goes. And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes.

And as they grew, together into lovers
He abused, the alcohol and uppers
He refused, to ever tell the truth and now he's
Sleeping alone again, sleeping alone again
Now, she always would forgive him
Given time, forgetting all the times
Stepped over lines, and as he fell into his hole
She just kept on lovin' him losin all her strength and so it goes

That night, when she held him in her arms and
Begged him please, to not let his soul
Slip easily, he was driftin back and forth
Out of sleep, passing out for the last time forever
He placed, his hand upon her face
She said he's going to a better place
And as he faded away he said
What could be better than my time here with you?
