Sometimes They Stay, Sometimes They Go

Hell, I don't know why, but

Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go

I tried & I tried but like mercury

It just slipped through my fingers

Golden apples on a silver tray

You know what they say, well...

Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go

Sometimes they stay...



Like birds in the sky

Well, sometimes they stay 'n sometimes they go

Like watching the tides

Tryin' to hold back the waves

You know what I'm sayin'?

Even the President's gotta pay

It all goes astray 'cuz

Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go

Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go



Well, some people claim they can make it rain

Well I don't know...

How long should I wait?

'Cuz sometimes it rains 'n sometimes it don't

Even the preacher man's gotta pay...

Sometimes they go

Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go

Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go...



Sometimes they go

Sometimes they stay

Sometimes they go



Solo



Sometimes they stay,

sometimes they go...

Sometimes they stay,

sometimes they go...

Sometimes they stay,

sometimes they go...

Sometimes they stay
