Nothing lasts



All the things you think and say Float away into space Done in thought or done in haste They have no place, they leave no trace All the things you think and do Have become a part of you All your deeds have come to pass Nothing lasts, nothing lasts Like a river flowing past your windowpane Life's never the same Like the sun you're born to set You'll die in sin And be born once again Now you know, so damn well That your life is a heaven and a hell And it's very easy to tell When you're sick and when you're well So the secret to this life Is so very easy to learn If you ever love another Never ask for anything in return Like a river flowing past your windowpane Life's never the same Like the sun you're born to set You'll die in sin And be born once again All the things you think and say Float away into space Done in thought or done in haste They have no place, they leave no trace All the things you think and do Have become a part of you All your deeds have come to pass Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
