The Story Goes On (From "Baby") Songtext
von Liz Callaway

So this is the tale my mother told me
That tale that was much too dull to hold me
And this is the surge and the rush
She said would show, our story goes on

Oh, I was young, I forgot that things outlive me
My goal was the kick that life would give me
And now, like a joke, something moves to let me know
Our story goes on

And all these things I feel and more
My mother′s mother felt and hers before
A chain of life begun upon the shore
Of some dark sea has reached to me


And now, I can see the chain extending
My child is next in a line that has no ending
And here am I, full of life that her child will feel
When I'm long gone, and thus it is, our story goes on
And on
And on, and on
And on, and on
And on, and on
And on

And all these things I feel and more
My mother′s mother felt and hers before
A chain of life begun upon the shore
Of some primordial sea
Has stretched through time to reach to me

And now, I can see the chain extending
My child is next in a line that has no ending
And here am I, feeling life that her child will feel
When I'm long gone

Yes, all that was is part of me
As I am part of what's to be
And thus it is, our story goes on
And on
And on and on
And on
