so it goes

So it goes
Those boys are laughing in advance
I'm sitting here atop the stair
Over the heads and through the railing shines your mouth
Won't you take me with you, dear?

So it goes
Those paintings are flat
I know exactly how they feel
Flatly I'll be left singing, wall-less, out of tune
If you don't take me with you, dear.

The summer flowers will never bloom
I'll while the hours broken in two
Both my halves will harmonize in blue
I'll sit and worry
You will be swinging from a star
Won't you take me with you, dear?

The roller coasters will stretch for miles
Brighton beach will arc her sands into a smile
Central park will be safe after dark
I wouldn't worry
We won't be sighing from afar
If you just take me with you, dear.

Wish upon a star
But make it quick, my dear
Summer's almost here to take you home.

I wouldn't worry
We will be swinging from a star
If you just take me with you, dear.
