Spock's Beard - Sometimes They Stay, Sometimes They Go lyrics

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 Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go...
