How I Go

I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and traveling sales
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me The stories excelled.
And I’m drying out
Crying out
This isn’t how I go
I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life’s a circus and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all
And I’m drying out
Crying out
This isn’t how I go Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow
Flow…
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be But every story I have told is part of me And you keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I’m drying out
Crying out
This isn’t how I go Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow…
Flow…
Let it flow
Let it flow
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be But every story I have told is part of me Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do And every story I have told is part of you
