La Mar (The Ocean)

This day is getting older In fading light, it's beautiful This wind is blowing colder And too soon, I'll feel its pull Still, I took all my chances Earned myself an even score Try to learn my lessons well And I don't have the answers For those questions anymore Only love can be both heaven and hell So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart For the road is long ahead I'll be with you even though we're apart But your road is yours to tread And so it goes, and so it goes And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind So it goes, and so it goes And so it goes, slows your 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 you well son All of everything I knew Of how to live this life be true Don't bow your head to no one And no matter what you do If you start, then see it through So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart For the road is long ahead I'll be with you even though we're apart But your road is yours to tread And so it goes, and so it goes And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind So it goes, and so it goes And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind
