[Lyric] Thats the Way These Things Go (Carrie Newcomer)

[VERSE]
Go ahead and sit on the floor
When you can't outrun it anymore
When nothing helps that did before
Like a river that finally floods the shore

[VERSE]
Someday this will all be passed
Blow away like bones and ash
But today's no different than the last
That's the way these things go
That's the way these things go

[Chorus]
But I'm not lost, I'm only wandering
I'm not adrift, I'm just at sea
I'm not sure, I'm only guessing
This is right where I need to be

[VERSE]
In the distance I hear a train
That keeps rolling on as though nothing's changed
As if the world could ever be the same
That's the way these things go
That's the way these things go
[Chorus]
But I'm not lost, I'm only wandering
I'm not adrift, I'm just at sea
I'm not sure, I'm only guessing
This is right where I need to be

[VERSE]
I saw the sun set up over the ridge
Shaped like a heart on a knife's edge
And I remember the last thing you said
That's the way these things go
That's the way these things go

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE]
Yesterday three golden leaves
Fluttered down in front of me
For a moment I felt the whole world breathe
For a moment I felt the whole world ease

[VERSE]
So be kind to everyone that you meet
No matter what you see on the street
You don't know what people live down deep
That's the way these things go
That's the way these things go
That's the way these things go
