Used to think, everything would last forever
When I was young, and you could hold a lifetime in a tear
Now I know the only thing that never changes,
Is change and the running of the years
Used to think the road went on forever
Never ending, always straight and always bright
Now I know what makes the journey worth the travelling
Are the side roads, and the shifting of the light
Used to think, the song went on forever
Never changing in its tempo and its time
Now I know what makes a song worth the listening
Are the spaces in the rhythm and the rhyme
Used to think, good friends would last forever
We’d never stop dancing through the night
Now I know it’s all as fragile as a memory
So take shelter when you can and hold on tight
Used to think that life went on forever
Like the seasons and the running of the tide
Now the sands are shifting all around me
And love’s the only thing to make it right
