So It Goes

Once again I reach the end of my rope
And hopelessly I bend
My bad knee and bow my hard head down
And I whisper, Father, what now

And wouldn't you like to know
But honey that's the only way to grow
Reaching in the dark until you see a spark
Oh, so it goes, so it goes

Another fork stands in the course
The flood of love and the fear of remorse
A day will dawn when both paths are gone
And I wonder which one we'll be on

And wouldn't you like to know
But sadly that's the only way to grow
All you need to understand is sad don't mean bad
No, so it goes so it goes

I ain't scared by lack of flair
It just wouldn't be real without the care
I know what you mean by in love
And it just ain't what I'm thinking of

And wouldn't you like to know?
But baby that's the only way to grow
If on the way out of the shell, you cut yourself, well
Oh, so it goes, so it goes
If on the way out of the shell, you cut yourself, well
Oh, so it goes, so it goes
