this day is getting older and fading light is beautiful
this wind is blowing colder and too soon i feel its pull
still i took all my chances earned myself an even score try to learn
my lessons well
and i d'ont have the answers for those questions anymore
only love can be both heaven and hell
so sturdy up sturdy up ur heart for the road is long ahead
i'll be with u even though we're apart
but ur road is urs to tread
and so it goes and so it goes and so it goes
slows ur mind mind mind
so it goes and so it goes and so it goes slows ur mind mind mind mind mind
i've grown old on this ocean gave her all my stronger years
gave my wife my devotion when she died the ocean my tears
i've tried to teach u well son all of everything i knew of how to live
this life be true don't bow ur head to no one and no matter what u do
if u start then see it through
so sturdy up sturdy up ur heart for the road is long ahead
i'll be with u even tho were apart
but ur road is urs to tread
and so it goes and so it goes and so it goes
slows ur mind mind mind
so it goes and so it goes and so it goes slows ur mind mind mind mind mind
