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 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 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
