Lyrics

It's getting to be about a year between us
Since it all went down
When it all went down between us
It went down without a sound
No unkind words were spoke to take it to the ground
It tumbled to the ground with no wild words
To take it there

Isn't that just the way that it goes in life?

I remember thinking yesterday
About the time we had
All the time we had then
Almost drove us mad
If it has to be remembered one way
Then I can't say it was bad
It wasn't so bad because we didn't know
Just what we had

Isn't that just the way that it goes in life?

I had myself a dream in deep sleep
Last night as I lay in bed
That bed became an altar
And I raised the dead
I conjured up the ghosts like balloons of light
and then I let them go
And a feeling came upon me like a tide of gold

Isn't that just the way that it goes in life?
