And so it goes...

I went to the most beautiful rose garden and a castle that has been around since the 1200s (and also hit a quick geocach), the day was enchanting and all was well with the world. Seeing the thousands of blooms made me thing of my favorite love song. It is a melancholy one (pictures of the rose garden and the castle are at the link dated 6.24.2010) and so I leave you with the lyrics of And So It Goes:
 
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
As if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
