[Verse 1]
I feel the water flow as I watch him go
Boy, life is cynical despite my heart of gold
Oh, no, buddy don't you cry as they go
Life changes all of us, it's not your fault, no, no, no
I feel the water flow as I watch him go
Boy, life is cynical despite my heart of gold
[Drop]
Oh-oh-oh
Where did they all run to?
[Verse 2]
And dear, buddy don't you cry when she goes
'Cause life is cynical despite your heart of gold
Oh, no, buddy don't you cry as they go
Life makes us critical and all, we gotta change the course
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I feel the water flow as I watch him go
Boy, life is cynical despite my heart of gold (Oh)
I feel the water flow as I watch him go
Boy, life is cynical despite my heart of gold
And dear, buddy don't you cry when she goes
'Cause life is cynical despite your heart of gold
[Drop]
Oh-oh-oh
Where did they all run to?
Oh-oh-oh
Where the sky is blue forever
Oh-oh-oh
Where did they all run to?
Oh-oh-oh
Where the sky is blue forever
She goes, she goes
She goes, she goes
She goes, she goes
She goes, she goes
[Outro]
Where the sky is blue forever
