Twilight never chase it's morning
Hard rain never waits to fall
Thunder never heeds a warning

Dead ends never take you far

Any town, any place, the winter

I was always headed south
You were swinging for the ?
Holding up both sides of the house


Oh that was the only thing to do
Oh that was the only thing to do

Yeah it's true

Old strings always end up broken

The soldiers always take their leave
Windows always get left open
The beggars gonna make his plea


Each town light would start shinier
Trouble has staring at my shoe

You were reaching for the sketcher
Trying to drive away my blue


Oh that was the only thing to do
Oh that was the only thing to do
Yeah it's true


Sometimes there can be exceptions
We both know the well has long run dry

You should go find yourself another
The young at heart need to feel alive


Oh that was the only thing to do
Oh that was the only thing to do
Yeah it's true

Was the only thing to do
Was the only thing
(That was the only thing)
