Ain't that just away

Ain`t that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down

Moving way too fast or much too slow



He was a very special warm and gentle person

Who put 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 some time



Ain`t that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down

Moving way too fast or much too slow

Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere

Not getting 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 nothing

And all it would have taken was some time



Ain`t that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down

Moving way too fast or much too slow

Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere

Not getting into someone I should know



Ain`t that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down

Moving way too fast or much too slow

Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere

Not getting into someone I should know



Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere

Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere

Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere

Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere



Ain`t that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down

Moving way too fast or much too slow

Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere

Not getting into someone I should know



Ain`t that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down

Moving way too fast or much too slow
