lyrics

So the Story Goes 
Words and Music by Joe Flood
Boy and girl walking down the street 
Suddenly their eyes meet 
Suddenly they fall in love 
Or so the story goes 
They start to see a lot of each other 
Become part of one another 
She's says she loves him and he says he loves her 
And so the story goes 

He works hard and one day he buys a ring 
Takes it on home to his sweet thing 
They set a date for the wedding 
Or so the story goes 
Until the day she says it must end 
'Cause she has found a new friend 
It feels worse than starting over again 
And so the story goes 

He tries to figure out how he wronged her 
He gives it up but the nights keep getting longer 
He searches every pair of eyes around every corner 
And so the story goes 
Why couldn't fate supply a happier ending 
Toward love and life forever wending 
Like a willow weeping into the river bending 
So the story goes
