This day is getting o lder,
in fading light it's bea utiful.
This wind is blowing cold er,
and too soon I'll feel it's p ull.
Still, I took all my chances,
e arned myself an even score.
Try to learn my lessons w ell.
And I don't have the answers,
for tho se questions anymore.
Only love can be both heaven and he ll.
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
for the road is long ah ead.
I'll be with you even though we're a part,
but your road is yours to tr ead.
And so it goes, and so it goes,
and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows yo ur mind, mind, mind,
mind, mind.

I've grown old on this ocean,
gave her all, my stronge r years.
Gave my wife my dev otion,
when she died, the ocean my tears.
I've tried to teach you well son,
all of everything I knew.
Of how to live this life be true.
Don't bow your head to no one,
and no matter what you do,
if you start then see it th rough.
So sturdy up, sturdy up you r heart,
for the road is long ah ead.
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
but your road is yours to t read.
And so it goes, and so i t goes,
and so it goes, slows your mind , mind, mind,
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind.
