So It Goes Lyrics

Out beyond the trees there is a place

The outline of the buildings can't erase

Where I will go to rest my bones someday

And think of all the things I can't explain

And so it goes

So it goes

I read about the Earth's tectonic plates

That cause the ground beneath us all to shake

Leaving damage and destruction in its wake

Much like a lover's heart that's set to break

And so it goes

These things we'll never know

I see you in my dreams

I smell you in my clothes

And when I'm old

And the end is growing near

I know that when it's time for me to go

I'll have no fear

Remembering the times I spent with you

The springtime of our love when all was new

Before the winter winds came in and turned it cold

But it's better to have loved and lost, I'm told

And so it goes

These things we'll never know

I see you in my dreams

I smell you in my clothes

And when I'm old

And the end is growing near

I know that when it's time for me to go

I'll have no fear

And so it goes

These things we'll never know

I see you in my dreams

I smell you in my clothes

And when I'm old

And the end is growing near

I know that when it's time for me to go

I'll have no fear
