Nothing is eternal, only death is guaranteed
I shan’t love you always. Some day you will be freed
When the clouds take back their raindrops
When a baby bears its mother
Then in early morning’s sunset I will leave you for another

When the hyena starts to cry dear, when Mona Lisa’s smile is gone
When the earth no longer spins and the days no longer dawn
When the clouds take back their raindrops
When a baby bears its mother
Then in early morning’s sunset I will leave you for another

When the seas run out of fish dear, and the birds run out of song
Then I’ll run out of love dear, and slowly travel on
When the clouds take back their raindrops
When a baby bears its mother
Then in early morning’s sunset I will leave you for another

But for now I love you dearly so while there’s stars above
Let us be together so we can share my love
For when the clouds take back their raindrops
When a baby bears its mother
Then in early morning’s sunset I will leave you for another
