So It Goes

Out beyond the trees there is a place The outline of the buildings can't erase Where I will go to rest my bones someday And think of all the things I can't explain And so it goes So it goes I read about the Earth's tectonic plates That cause the ground beneath us all to shake Leaving damage and destruction in its wake Much like a lover's heart that's set to break And so it goes These things we'll never know I see you in my dreams I smell you in my clothes And when I'm old And the end is growing near I know that when it's time for me to go I'll have no fear Remembering the times I spent with you The springtime of our love when all was new Before the winter winds came in and turned it cold But it's better to have loved and lost, I'm told And so it goes These things we'll never know I see you in my dreams I smell you in my clothes And when I'm old And the end is growing near I know that when it's time for me to go I'll have no fear And so it goes These things we'll never know I see you in my dreams I smell you in my clothes And when I'm old And the end is growing near I know that when it's time for me to go I'll have no fear
