And so It Goes - Eamonn McCrystal

In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you, soon, I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows

I crowned the same old passing of time Gave the golden sceptre though it was never really mine He made the days all pass me by In such idyllic swiftness, he didn't even try And so it goes, the stillness covers my ears Tenderly, until all sound disappears Now it shows, while wind is swinging the trees Vigorously Well, it has stopped to move me I praised the same old spending of time Slept on the whitest beaches in the calmest of nights They held me chained and captive so I Could never join the sea in its ever changing tides If I'm to let it in It might just stay forever If I'm to welcome him We might just stay together The crown remains, it's always been mine I ought to wear it better, I ought to know it now And so it goes, the stillness covers my ears Tenderly, until all sound disappears Now it shows, while wind is swinging the trees Vigorously Well, it has stopped to move me

If I was a seagull, high and aloof I'd sail to your house and perch on your roof But I ain't a seagull, you know my name And the winds blow fortune, winds blow pain And so it goes, nobody knows How to get to the sky How to get to the sky If I was a puppy dog in the early dawn I'd make it to your house, sleep on your lawn But I ain't a puppy dog, you know my name And the winds blowin' fortune, the winds blow pain And so it goes, nobody knows How to get to the sky How to get to the sky How to get to the sky How to get to the sky

Everybody loves the things you do From the way you talk to the way you move Everybody here is watching you 'Cause you feel like home You're like a dream come true But if by chance you're here alone Can I have a moment before I go? 'Cause I've been by myself all night long Hoping you were someone I used to know You look like a movie You sound like a song My God this reminds me Of when we were young Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless It was just like a movie It was just like a song I was so scared to face my fears 'Cause nobody told me that you'd be here And I'd swear that you'd moved overseas 'Cause that's what you said When you left me You still look like a movie You still sound like a song My God this reminds me Of when we were young Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless It was just like a movie It was just like a song When we were young When we were young When we were young It's hard to win me back Everything just takes me back To when you were there To when you were there And a part of me keeps holding on Just in case it hasn't gone I still care Do you still care? It was just like a movie It was just like a song When we were young When we were young When we were young Oh let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless Oh I'm so mad I'm getting old It makes me reckless It was just like a movie It was just like a song When we were young

There's a dark cloud coming Headed straight for your heart It might get just a little bit crazy, baby Might try to tear us apart When the storm blows over Only the strong love remains If we're ever gonna see a rainbow We'll have to stand a little rain Everybody wants love to come easy But it's never been that way Every love starts out with blue skies Sometimes those blue skies turn grey When the storm blows over Only the true love remains If we're ever gonna see a rainbow We have to stand a little rain Thunder rolls Lightning strikes Hold on, darling It's gonna be alright 'Cause when the storm blows over I swear my love will remain If we're ever gonna see a rainbow We'll have to stand a little rain If we're ever gonna see a rainbow We have to stand a little rain If we're ever gonna see a rainbow We have to stand a little rain Oh O Wow Oh O

Feeling broken Barely holding on But there's just something so strong Somewhere inside me And I am down but I'll get up again Don't count me out just yet I've been brought down to my knees And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking But I can take it I'll be back Back on my feet This is far from over You haven't seen the last of me You haven't seen the last of me They can say that I won't stay around But I'm gonna stand my ground You're not gonna stop me You don't know me You don't know who I am Don't count me out so fast I've been brought down to my knees And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking But I can take it I'll be back Back on my feet This is far from over You haven't seen the last of me There will be no fade out This is not the end I'm down now But i'll be standing tall again Times are hard but I was built tough I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of I've been brought down to my knees And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking But I can take it I'll be back Back on my feet This is far from over I am far from over You haven't seen the last of me No no I'm not going nowhere I'm staying right here Oh no You won't see me begging I'm not taking my bow Can't stop me It's not the end You haven't seen the last of me Oh no You haven't seen the last of me You haven't seen the last of me
