How I Go

I could tell you the wildest of tales

My friend the giant and traveling sales

Tell you all the times that I failed

The years all behind me the stories exhaled.



And I'm drying out

Crying out

This isn't how I go



I could tell you of a man not so tall

Who said life's a circus and so we are small

Tell you of a girl that I saw

I froze in the moment and she changed it all



And I'm drying out

Crying out

This isn't how I go

Hurry now

Lay me down

And let these waters

Flow, flow



Son I am not everything

You thought that I would be

But every story I have told

Is part of me (Oooooooooh x4)



You keep the air in my lungs

Floating along as a melody comes

And my heart beats like timpani drums

Keeping the time while a symphony strums



And I'm drying out

Crying out

This isn't how I go

Hurry now

Lay me down

And let these waters

Flow…

Flow

Let it flow (LET IT FLOW) x2



Son I am not everything

You thought that I would be

But every story I have told

Is part of me

Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do

And every story I have told is part of you
