The rain on the sill has started dripping again And you are fast asleep by ten And now I am alone in a world of disgrace To search for my poor mothers face in it all And now I think six months ago I'd have climbed down his stairs To find him in his underwear And I'd have climbed in his bed with the blankets over our heads To dream of making that honey bread that we'd make And ain't that how it always seems to go? When something good comes, it goes, it goes And ain't that how it always seems to go? How it goes, how it goes, oh oh, how it goes No mr., mrs., ma'am or sir, with us, those words just never worked And now we aren't on speaking terms And no favors slid beneath the table not even if we're counted as able Just you and me in our short sleeves But you cut yours off, so I guess that makes it a tank top And side by side is where we decided that Ain't that how it always seems to go? When something good comes, it goes, it goes And ain't that how it always seems to go? How it goes, how it goes, oh oh, how it goes How it goes, how it goes How it goes, how it goes How it goes, c'mon How it goes, c'mon
