Nothing Lasts Forever

I saw you spiraling

I saw you spinning back in time

through all your memories

such a quiet disease

you had forgotten me

but I'll always remember you dancing

across the kitchen in your orange handkerchief

such a quiet disease

I pray that when you dream you would remember everything

you know it all comes back to you

in one conscience dream

maybe you'd sing and put words to all the things

that you think of in a day

but forgotten how to say

nothing last forever

not even the mountains

someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea

we all shall be blessedly released

life is so precious it's as fragile as a dream

and in a moment we all grow our wings

I wish to sing as if no ones listening

I wish to dance as if no one is watching

I wish to dance as if no one is watching

and I, give thanks for my dreams

you can rob me of my sight

and you can poison my blood stream

but as long as I can dream then life is worth living

nothing last forever

not even the mountains

someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea

we all shall be blessedly released

nothing last forever

not even the sun

for all we know it could have burned out light years ago

darkness remains the hardest thing for us to outrun
