and_so_it_goes
florescent light In every heart there is a room,
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds of lovers past
Until a new one comes along.

I spoke to you in cautious tones,
You answered me with no pretense.
And still I feel I said too much,
My silence is my self defense.

And every time I held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes,
And so will you soon I suppose.

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break.

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes,
And you're the only one who knows.

And so I choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
And you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break.

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows.

--Billy Joel

johnny west For some reason, "And So It Goes" is the only song that's ever come close to reducing me to tears. I don't know why. 010315

florescent light Only one person has ever seen me cry.
And that was when he broke my heart.

the bard That's such a gorgeous song, and I have been reduced to tears by it...it reminds me of an unrequited love.

Wish I'd gotten the chance to sing it in a choir, but we were more concerned with showtunes. Bah...
