She Always Goes - Joe Henry

She will always go Every time this story’s told

I know it won’t ever change

No matter how I rearrange;

I can’t make this story bend

Or head it off before it ends,

We all have stories, I suppose,

But in mine she always goes.

Well, sometimes I like to say

That I’m a different man today

Not the one that she recalls,

She never really knew me at all;

Then other times I might pretend

We’re both the same as we were then,

I see her wearing my old clothes

But in the end she always goes

But I couldn’t make her stay

That’s just the way it was,

But I relieve it everyday

And sometimes you’d be amazed,

In my mind she almost does.

You can call it what you will

But a story’s yours until

The one who knows it well as you

Says she’s got a story too;

But this one I’ll tell my way

Although I change it day to day,

We all have dreams that fade, God knows

And in mine she always goes.

But this one I’ll tell my way

Although I change it day to day,

We all have dreams that fade, God knows

And in mine she always goes.

We all have dreams that fade, God knows

And in mine she always goes.
