Lyrics

The Riddle Song
- by David Elias

I took a little piece of thread
From the pillow on my bed
I put it underneath my arm
To keep it safe and keep it warm
It found its way into my heart
Where it was destined from the start
Hey that's the way it goes
Ain't that the way it goes

I picked a penny from the floor
Walkin through the hardware store
I put it into my old shoe
It seemed to be the thing to do
It found its way into my soul
Filling up an empty hole
Ain't that the way it goes
Ain't that the way it goes

A feather landed on my knee
When I was leaning 'gainst a tree
It wasn't any kind of test
Just looking for a place to rest
It found its way under my skin
Grew to spread its wings within
Ain't that the way it goes, ain't that the way it goes
Ain't that the way it goes, ain't that the way it goes
Ain't that the way it goes, ain't that the way it goes
That's the way it goes, ain't that the way it goes
