La Mar

This day is getting older
In fading light it's beautiful
This wind is blowing colder
And too soon I'll feel it's pull

Still, I took all my chances
Earned myself an even score
Try to learn my lessons well
And I don't have the answers
For those questions anymore
Only love can be both heaven and hell

So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart
For the road is long ahead
I'll be with you even though we're apart
But your road is yours to tread
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind
So it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind

I've grown old on this ocean
Gave her all, my stronger years
Gave my wife my devotion
When she died, the ocean my tears

I've tried to teach you well son
All of everything I knew
Of how to live this life be true
Don't bow your head to no one
And no matter what you do
If you start then see it through

So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart
For the road is long ahead
I'll be with you even though we're apart
But your road is yours to tread
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind
So it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind
