Ain't that just the way
that life goes down down
down down
Movin' way too fast
or much too slow
He was a very special
warm and gentle person
Who put the music in
the world and
spoke in rhyme
And it hurts me that
I never really knew him
'Cos all it would have
taken was some time
You know he always
seemed to be there
when I stumbled
And when mountains got
too steep for me to climb
And it tears me up to think
I never touched him
'Cos all it would have
taken was some time
Oh yeah yeah
Ain't that just the way
that life goes down down
down down
Movin' way too fast
or much too slow
Gettin' up, gettin' high,
gettin' down
Gettin' no no nowhere
But not gettin' into
someone I should know
Now he's in another place
and I can't reach him
And I feel as though
I'm guilty of a crime
I took all he had to give
and gave him nothing
'Cos all it would have
taken was some time
Ain't that just the way
that life goes down down
down down
Movin' way too fast
or much too slow
Gettin' up, gettin' high,
gettin' down
Gettin' no no nowhere
But not gettin' into
someone I should know
Ain't that just the way
that life goes down down
down down
Movin' way too fast
or much too slow
Gettin' up, gettin' high,
gettin' down
Gettin' no no nowhere
But not gettin' into
someone I should know
Gettin' up, gettin' high,
gettin' down
Gettin' no no nowhere
Gettin' up, gettin' high,
gettin' down
Gettin' no no nowhere
Gettin' up, gettin' high,
gettin' down
Gettin' no no nowhere
Gettin' up, gettin' high,
gettin' down
Gettin' no no nowhere
Ain't that just the way
that life goes down down
down down
Movin' way too fast
or much too slow
Gettin' up, gettin' high,
gettin' down
Gettin' no no nowhere
But not gettin' into
someone I should know
Ain't that just the way
that life goes down down
down down
Movin' way too fast
or much too slow
