This day is getting older,
in fading light its beautiful.
This wind is blowing colder,
and too soon Ill feel its pull.
Still, I took all my chances,
earned myself an even score.
Try to learn my lessons well.
And I dont have the answers,
for those questions anymore.
Only love can beat both heaven and hell.
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
for the road is long ahead.
Ill be with you even though were 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.
Ive grown old on this ocean,
gave her all, my stronger years.
Gave my wife my devotion,
when she died, the ocean my tears.
Ive tried to teach you well son,
all of everything I knew.
Of how to live this life be true.
Dont 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.
Ill be with you even though were 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.
