The Last Domino Lyrics - The Way It Goes

The Last Domino - The Way It Goes

Time is the sea upon which we all row
Taunting us with every chime
It's all I can do now to keep things afloat
Assuming I live through the night
I got the call, and I raced right to you
Ignoring the nurses' debates
Burst through the door numbered one-forty-two
To find I'm a minute too late
Well, I know it sounds trite
But it's all that my mind right now truly knows
Never got to say goodbye
Or just look you in the eye and say "I love you so"
But that's just the way it goes
I passed the church on the hazy ride home
A story held fresh in my mind
God took away all He could from poor Job
And presumed what He did was divine
Well, I know it sounds trite
But it's all that my mind right now truly knows
Never got to say goodbye
Or just look you in the eye and say "I love you so"
But that's just the way it goes
So I force self-control at the wake
Friends assure me that it's all okay
But they can't even fathom the pain
Since you've gone away
So I renounce my beliefs and my faith
I replace sacred with the profane
And my mind's never going to change
'Cos you've gone away
You've gone away
You've gone away
Time is the sea upon which we all row
But my oars are ready to fall
It's all I can do now to keep things afloat
But time makes a fool of us all
