Comes & Goes Lyrics

Comes & Goes

The woman’s like the night

She comes and goes

She breaks my heart
each day

And never knows,

And the time I spend in sorrow

Will
match the time I live

And the time that’s left is

All I have to
give.



The woman’s like an ivy on a pole

She wraps her
twisted love around my soul

There will come a sudden winter

When
she’ll seek the warmth of day

And there’ll come a time when she will
come to stay.



The woman’s like the tide

She comes and
goes

She knows the things that I can just suppose.

And the time I
spend in sorrow

Will match the time that she laughs

And the songs I
sing cannot explain but half.
