He was a very special, warm and gentle person Who put the music in the world and spoke in rhyme And it hurts me that I never really knew him 'Cause all it would have taken was some time
You know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled And when mountains got too steep for me to climb And it tears me up to think I never touched him 'Cause all it would have taken was some time
Ain't that just the way that life goes Down, down, down, down? Movin' way too fast or much too slow Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down Gettin' no, no, nowhere But not gettin' into someone I should know
Now he's in another place and I can't reach him And I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime I took all he had to give and gave him nothin' And all it would have taken was some time
Ain't that just the way that life goes Down, down, down, down? Movin' way too fast or much too slow Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down Gettin' no, no, nowhere But not gettin' into someone I should know
Ain't that just the way that life goes Down, down, down, down? Movin' way too fast or much too slow Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down Gettin' no, no, nowhere But not gettin' into someone I should know
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down Gettin' no, no, nowhere Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down Gettin' no, no, nowhere Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down Gettin' no, no, nowhere Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down Gettin' no, no, nowhere
Ain't that just the way that life goes Down, down, down, down? Movin' way too fast or much too slow Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down Gettin' no, no, nowhere But not gettin' into someone I should know
Ain't that just the way that life goes Down, down, down, down? Movin' way too fast or much too slow
