There She Goes - Ховард Гудолл, Original London Bend it Like Beckham Cast

There she goes

There she goes

Full of fear, full of rage, far from here, from the cage of my heart

And it’s only the start

Off she sails

Off she sails

Sad and lost, like a ship, tempest tossed in the grip of the storm

True to type and to form

And there’s nothing, no nothing, we mothers can possibly say

All our weeping and wailing won’t ever disway them from sailing away

Hey, there I go

There I go

Scheming schemes for a life which, it seems, has a life of its own

As she goes it alone

Look at me

Look at me

Making free with her pain, saying see how much pain could be spared

If that pain could be shared

When there’s nothing, no nothing, we mothers can offer, I know

And our children grow colder and surer the stronger and older they grow

And so,

There they go

See them go

Far too fast to resist with one last tiny twist of the knife

Taking half of your life

There she goes

There she goes

On the run like her dad, well that’s one I can add to my woes

And I doubt if she knows

Of the hurt that I hide as the truth starts to dawn that a river has dried,

that a story has drawn to a close

And she goes, off she goes, where she goes, which is anyone’s guess

And she’ll need less and less of her mother the further she flows

There she goes

There she blows

There she goes

But God speed and God bless her wherever she goes

There she goes

There she goes
