Life goes on, the world keeps turning and life goes on

 He was a company man
 He put his faith in the union and his take-home pay
 A good republican man
 But they closed down the factory his retirement day

 Life goes on whether or not there's a reason
 Life goes on, enter another season

 She was the pride of her dad
 But she harbored a secret in her bureau drawer
 And when the news was too bad
 She would get into trouble with the boy next door

 In the dead of the night
 They escape to their fantasy without a sound
 Her father still burns a light
 But they never returned and they were never found
