Sometimes They Stay, Sometimes They Go

Hell, I don't know why but

Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go

I tried and 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 and 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 'cause

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?

'cause sometimes it rains and 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

Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go
