Ain't That The Way It Goes?

When change is knocking at your door
You can't survive there anymore
It's time to pack your things and go
And leave the fine folks that you know

So say goodbye to all the faces
That made you feel so safe and sure
And say hello to stranger places
That'll take you
Down all alone, in the cold, but you've got to move on
Ain't that the way it goes?

When obstacles get in the way
And no one hears the words you say
Well you've tried everything you can
You took more than you could stand
All your new sisters and new brothers
Have a deep unspoken love
They're looking out for one another
They won't make you, feel so alone, in the cold, you can keep moving
Ain't that the way it goes?

Nobody told you
It would be without its share of regret
Well they'll come and they'll go and they'll make you so low
But you know you haven't turned back yet...

So say goodbye to all the faces
That made you feel so safe and sure
And say hello to stranger places
That'll take you
Down all alone, in the cold, but you've got to move on
Ain't that the way it goes?
