It was a beautiful idea when it started, |
|
It hit so hard, |
|
I never thought it through. |
|
Leaving the west side of town, way on up riverside rushing down, that's the freest moment a city girl knew. |
|
I've got the beauty of the moment, passed so quickly, |
|
Now the tingle and the chill got me confused. |
|
So as I buckle down, why knuckle you 'round. |
|
Those free moments feel so fare and few. |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
An I can't help myself at all |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
I see you crossing the street, come and meet me. |
|
Like an image come to mind too long ago. |
|
Well there's a smile across your mouth those eyes are looking south. |
|
If I could see them what would they let me know? |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
An I can't help myself at all |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
I looked and found them lost and started |
|
I've sown and reeded and plowed the ground once more |
|
I laid my hammer down, wandered this city all around |
|
Ended up on the streets |
|
I walked before |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
An I can't help myself at all |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
That's just the way it is |
|
An I can't help myself at all |
|
That's just the way it is |
