The Way That It Goes

The Way That It Goes - Susan Cowsill

And the way that it goes

While you're dreaming your dreams

You gotta keep on your toes

If you know what I mean

And when the ceiling is on the floor

And you can't seem to find the door

And the telephone rings

That's just the way that it goes

And while you're making your plans

And you're scheming your schemes

Just remember that life isn't all that it seems

When you're willing to risk it all

And the closing of winter calls

Don't expect an early spring

Because the truth is you never know

When the grass will turn green

And if the season is extra long

You're gonna need lots of seed

You're gonna need lots of seed

You're gonna need lots of seed

'Cause that's the way that it goes

Seasons come and seasons go

Life goes on and on you know you know

It's what we do when we're here

Those matters where we go

'Cause that's the way that it goes

That's the way that it goes

So when you follow your heart

You gotta keep up your chin

It's the road that we're on

Not the place where it ends

And there's always another way

And there's always a summer's day

And fall to come again

Because the truth is we never know

When the grass will turn green

And if the season is extra long

You're gonna need lots of seed

'Cause the truth is you never know

When the grass will turn green

And if the season is extra long

Gonna need lots of seed

Gonna need lots of seed

Gonna need lots of seed

'Cause that's the way that it goes

That's the way that it goes

That's the way that it goes

You're gonna need lots of seed

Gonna need lots of seed
