And So It Goes

I can't bear the thought of ever going back

My head was full of nails my heart was broke and black

I never understood that glimmering you chased

I found it useless so i turned and walked away

Where were you when the sun went down

Where were you when that sense of loss left town

I don't care if you're worried now

It's too late

The wind blew through the square last night like haunted souls

Flags were snapping hard and rattling their poles

I drove down third street and it felt like i was gone

The ghosts of things we said were smoking on the lawn

Where were you when the sun went down

Where were you when all that hope left town

I don't care if you want me now

It's too late

It's too late

 

And so it goes

Watch it go

Watch it go

And you won't know

Until you know

I hold no grudge no more though i did for a couple of years

The hate you harbor only welcomes what you fear

I wrote this song while the sun fell behind the hill

The stars look cold but there's a warm light on the sill

Where were you when the sun went down

Where were you when that sense of loss left town

I don't care if you want me now

It's too late

It's too late
