If it's time to know where all things precious really stand I can breathe some times, when I'm wailing off again Well she said all the words that she thought she would've wanted to hear Everytime it's around my vision sinks a piece of me She didn't want me to get this far And I told her life goes on and on On and on That I need rest, things have places in my head And I feel nothing matters and no one else She didn't want me to get this far And I told her life goes on and on On and on I've been 'round and around, there ain't no place much like here In this town it's true that things were always very clear She didn't want me to get this far And I told her life goes on and on On and on Life goes on
