So It Goes - Black Lungs

No need to worry the kids

She kept her lips sealed

Until the test results came in

A mother’s burden, thats all

My dear you probably should have called

Cut up and bruised

It’s a long way home

Snow storming and driving alone

You shouldn’t have kept this to yourself

But there’s no need to worry, you’ve got your health

So it goes

In some way, however small or secret, we are all a little mad

Well you gave us a scare

Now you’ve got our attention

But then again you’ve always had

So tonight when you lay down to bed

Yeah this pain, it is fleeting

Just rest your heavy head

The sutures will be out soon

Oh yes the sutures will be out soon

So it goes
