Tom Waits - So It Goes Lyrics

Tom Waits Lyrics

"So It Goes"

If I was a seagull high and aloof
I'd sail to your house and perch on your roof
But I ain't no seagull, you know my name
And the winds blowing fortune, the winds blowing pain
And so it goes, nobody knows
How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
If I was a puppy dog in the early dawn
I'd make it to your house and sleep on your lawn
But I ain't no puppy dog, you know my name
And the wind blows fortune, the wind blows pain
And so it goes, nobody knows
How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
