Even As It All Goes By

You could spend your whole life

Wanting what you don't have

Tangled in the pain and strife

Dragging up the ghost of your past

You can curse the rain

But the river remains

Even as it all goes by

Baby, it's a long road

To the promised land

And there are dreams we hold

In the palm of our hand

We can never know

How the story will end

Even as it all goes by

Flying through the hourglass

Like a grain of sand

Every moment opens

Right in our hands

So love me like a slow dance

On a fast train

Kiss me while the world flies past

And the scenery is changed

And as time goes through

I will hold on to you

Even as it all goes by

Flying through the hourglass

Like a grain of sand

Every moment opens

Right in our hands

As fleeting as the first light

On a window sill

Reaching through the darkest night

It can never be still

Like the earth that spins

Where it ends it begins

Even as it all goes by

Even as it all goes by

Either way it all goes by
