Going On

It's good to know that life goes on
even after you'll turn and be gone
I'll go on, if I must, alone
and maybe we'll both find a home.

You travel much too fast for me
there are things I cannot see
when you are ready to settle down
call me up and we'll drive around,

have lunch or just a cup
of coffee, the day to disrupt
life that went on without you
and soon stopped revolving about you

but maybe we can find it again
call me and we'll see, when
you're ready to settle down, if you can
when you grow to be a man

out of the bedroom and in real life
when you realize the meaning of 'man and wife'

when you see that you cannot play the pawn
I am my own and I will go on.
