This day is gettin older and fading light is beautiful This wind is blowing colder and too soon i 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 be both heaven and hell So sturdy up sturdy up ur heart for the road is long ahead Ill be with u even tho were apart But ur rod is urs to tread And so it goes and so it goes and so it goes Slows ur mind mind mind So it goes and so it goes and so it goes slows ur mind mind mind mind mind Ive grown old on this ocean gave her all my stronger years Gave my wife my devotion wen she died the ocean my tears Ive tried to teach u well son all of every i new of how to live This life be true dont bow ur head to knwo one and no matter what u do If u start then see it through So sturdy up sturdy up ur heart for the road is long ahead Ill be with u even tho were apart But ur rod is urs to tread And so it goes and so it goes and so it goes Slows ur mind mind mind So it goes and so it goes and so it goes slows ur mind mind mind mind mind
