Life Goes On Paula Cole

Love child accident born to children themselves
She nearly died on the table giving birth to her first back in ’63
That was my sister Irene
Moved into the trailer park in Ithaca, New York
Took another job while he was going to school
Another mouth to feed
Well, that was me

[Chorus:]
Oh round and round and round we go
The seasons melt away like snow
Oh round and round and round we go
The years they pass away and life goes on

Couldn’t stop trying too damned hard
Being everything to everybody
But he couldn’t hold up his heart
And it broke him down
So he left that town
Moved again to the cold blue North, little town on the sea
Innocent dreams of hope that they’d grow to be
A little better than what he had

[Chorus]
Oh round and round and round we go
The seasons melt away like snow
Oh round and round and round we go
The years they pass away and life goes on
