The Way It Goes
« back
a forgotten whisper screams at me now
so that i don't forget how to sit like a child on my mothers knee
how dare that child be me

and it's trot trot to boston
and trot trot to lynn
and trot all the way home again
but don't let me fall in
    Chorus:
    cuz im slippin' through your legs
    im slippin through your legs
    im slippin through your legs
    im slippin through your legs...

so race me up the loft
up the ladder until i get lost
and let you be an arms length away
so you can wake me and tell me of the day
and it's trot trot to boston

and trot trot to lynn
and trot all the way home again
but don't let me fall in
    Chorus:
    cuz im slippin' through your legs
    im slippin through your legs
    im slippin through your legs
    im slippin through your legs...

    Bridge:
    so where are you going
    did you follow me
    and how could you see so well.. so well
    you are helpless
    like a dog that begs
    but what did you say when
    he pulled it out
    did you shout
    did you shout
    did you...

    Chorus:
    cuz im slippin' through your legs
    im slippin through your legs
    im slippin through your legs
    im slippin through your legs...

    Bridge:
    so where are you going
    did you follow me
    and how could you see so well.. so well
    you are helpless
    like a dog that begs
    but what did you say when
    he pulled it out
    did you shout
    did you shout
    did you...


and the way it goes and i can't remember...
