Howard Goodall - There She Goes lyrics

[PAULA PAXTON] There she goes, there she goes Full of fear, full of rage Far from here from the cage of my heart And it's only the start Off she sails, off she sails Sad and lost, like a ship Tempers tossed in the grip of the storm True to type and to form And there's nothing, no nothing we mothers can possibly say All our weeping and wailing Won't ever dissuade them From sailing away But hey, there I go There I go Scheming schemes for a life Which it seems has a life of its own As she goes it alone Look at me, look at me Making free with her pain Saying, “see how much pain could be spared If that pain could be shared.” When there's nothing, no nothing We mothers can offer, I know And our children grow colder and surer The stronger and older they grow And so There they go, see them go Far too fast to resist With one last tiny twist of the knife Taking half of your life There she goes, there she goes On the run, like her Dad Well, that's one I can add to my woes And I doubt if she knows Of the hurts that I hide as the truth starts to dawn That a river has dried, that a story has drawn to a close And she goes, off she goes Where she goes, which is anyone's guess And she'll need less and less of her mother the further she goes There she goes There she blows There she goes But godspeed and god bless her forever, wherever she goes There she goes There she goes
