Whatever happens in life happens

lyrics

There is an island where I used to live
With a single road like a circle that kept me looking in
And the people kept busy with trifles, while their souls faded out day by day
And I was distraught by the things that I thought
And the words that I heard myself say

The days are cloudy
And the wind hurts my face
Perhaps across the water
There's a sunnier place

I got to thinking, there must be some escape
From the heart-crushing wear monotony that wrinkles my face
Oh all of my life is just memories some that I live in and others avoid
But by God I will do something meaningful
Though I should be drowned in the tide

The one way I know
It leads back to the start
And all I know is that
It breaks my heart

Feel the ebb and flow
Feel the ebb and flow
Feel the ebb and flow
Feel the ebb and flow

Feel the ebb and flow
Feel the ebb and flow
Feel the ebb and flow
Feel the ebb and flow
Feel the ebb and flow
Feel the ebb and flow
(I don't want to break but I need to move on)
(I don't want to break but I need to move on)
