Alejandro Escovedo - Way It Goes lyrics

God bless the child that don't have a mother To put her fast asleep God bless the father who's lost his lover For whom his soul to keep Sometimes it takes more than just walking away To find you've lost Sometimes it doesn't take a good friend to say It's just time and it's gone But that's the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes If you throw a penny into the Indian Ocean Then jump right in Three wise men can tap you on the shoulder You'd jump right in Sometimes it takes more than just throwing all away To find you've lost Sometimes it doesn't take a genius to say It's just time and it's gone But that's the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes It's just the way it goes Close your eyes with all your might But she's not there Reach into to the blinding light She's still not there You made your choice now Live with it It's all you've got Sometimes it doesn't take an image in the mirror to say It's just time and it's gone But that's the way it goes It's just the way it goes...
