Life Goes On |
| Love child accident born to children themselves |
| She nearly died on the table giving birth to her first back in '63 |
| That was my sister Irene |
| Moved into the trailer park in Ithaca, New York |
| Took another job while he was going to school |
| Another mouth to feed |
| Well, that was me |
| Oh round and round and round we go |
| The seasons melt away like snow |
| Oh round and round and round we go |
| The years they pass away and life goes on |
| Couldn’t stop trying too damned hard |
| Being everything to everybody |
| But he couldn’t hold up his heart |
| And it broke him down |
| So he left that town |
| Moved again to the cold blue North, little town on the sea |
| Innocent dreams of hope that they’d grow to be |
| A little better than what he had |
| Oh round and round and round we go |
| The seasons melt away like snow |
| Oh round and round and round we go |
| The years they pass away and life goes on |
| Father, eagle-scout, mentor, boy |
| Silence the table with that bear in your voice |
| My frozen fear, my swallowed tears |
| Always coming down the hardest on the ones that you love best |
| All my life I’ve looked to your eyes |
| I’m looking back on the younger me trying so hard |
| A fragile bird in the golden girl seeking love |
| Her father’s child, walking in his stride |
| And I’m looking now at the older man you’ve turned out to be |
| The hardness has softened to empathy |
| We’ve made amends, we’re better friends |
| Oh round and round and round we go |
| The seasons melt away like snow |
| Oh round and round and round we go |
| The years they pass away and life goes on |
