The Way It Is — текст песни (Laura Cantrell)

It was a beautiful idea when it started,
It hit so hard, I never thought it through.
Leaving the west side of town,
way on up riverside rushing down,
that`s the freest moment a city girl knew.

I`ve got the beauty of the moment,
passed so quickly,
Now the tingle and the chill got me confused.
So as I buckle down, why knuckle you `round.
Those free moments feel so fare and few.

That`s just the way it is
That`s just the way it is
An I can`t help myself at all
That`s just the way it is

I see you crossing the street,
come and meet me.
Like an image come to mind too long ago.
Well there`s a smile across your mouth
those eyes are looking south.
If I could see them what would they let me know?

That`s just the way it is
That`s just the way it is
An I can`t help myself at all
That`s just the way it is

I looked and found them lost and started
I`ve sown and reeded and plowed the ground once more
I laid my hammer down, wandered this city all around
Ended up on the streets I walked before

That`s just the way it is
That`s just the way it is
An I can`t help myself at all
That`s just the way it is

That`s just the way it is
That`s just the way it is
An I can`t help myself at all
That`s just the way it is
