How I Go

I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and travelling de salles
Tell you of all the times that I've failed
The year's all behind me the stories have staled

And I'm drying out crying out
This isn't how I go

I could tell you all the men 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

You keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as the melody comes
My heart beats like timphony drums
Keeping the time while the 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

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 to do
And every story I have told is part of you
