“So on and on the Story Goes” is the fifth track of the eighth movement – entitled “Peace” – and the final track of Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio, released in 1991.

VIII: PEACE. Shanty sings to his new-born child, celebrating the wonder of being. In a sermon, the preacher sings of the frail magic of family life as Mary Dee and Shanty pledge a future with their child, together forever, celebrating a love that will now survive.
“Liverpool Oratorio” liner notes

Lyrics

SHANTY

So on and on the story goes

From day to day throughout our lives.

MARY DEE

What can we do, that's how it grows.

I am with you,

MARY DEE and SHANTY

Our love survives.
