lyrics

Jerry died on a Monday.
Friday noon we got the call.
Gwen didn't get to say goodbye.
Life sometimes will make you small.
La la la la la la la la
So it goes.

Without a prayer there is no answer
Roll the carpet down the hall.
If you forget the taste of sweet relief
You know who you gotta call.
La la la la la la la la

So it goes to the river
Bathe with the sinners
Fleece all the liars
Drink all the fires now.

Ba ba da da da...

Stay awhile.
I could use a friend
Until the darkness passes pver
And the clouds smile again.
Will we ever go back?

Ba ba da da da...
