From the recording The Way It Goes

Lyrics

I stretch out my arms
Feel the wind and it’s warm
I turn on my charm
Like a good Taurus can
You rise at dawn
My spell is gone
All that I want
Sliding out of my hands

That’s the way it goes
You know how it ends
The story of a lonely heart
Tell it again
Leave a note on the table
To show where you’ve been
That’s the way it goes
That’s the way it goes

Sun in my room
I sleep till noon
Bleak Sunday blues
Press against me like wind
A dark melody
Rises in me
Bitter and sweet
Like your kiss on my skin

That’s the way it goes
You know how it ends
The chorus of a lonely heart
Sing it again
Every note a measured cry
For what might have been
That’s the way it goes
That’s the way it goes

Fly lover fly
Back to the night
Fly lover fly
Even summer days lose their light

Late in July
Bright fireflies
Light up both sides
Of the path were I stand
When I was young
Through grass I would run
Just to catch one
In the palm of my hand

And that’s the way it goes
It never ends
The search for something magic
A light deep within
You hold it for a little while
Then it goes dim
That’s the way it goes
That’s the way it goes
