So It Goes Lyrics

Black Lungs So It Goes

No need to worry the kids.
She kept her lips sealed.
Until the test results came in.
A mother's burden, that's all.
My dear you probably should have called.
Cut up and bruised.
It's a long way home.
Snow storming and driving alone.
You shouldn't have kept this to yourself.
But there's no need to worry, you've got your health.
So it goes.
In some way, however small or secret, we are all a little mad.
Well you gave us a scare.
Now you've got our attention.
But then again you've always had.
So tonight when you lay down to bed.
Yeah this pain, it is fleeting.
Just rest your heavy head.
The sutures will be out soon.
Oh yes the sutures will be out soon.
So it goes.
