Not one thing! Not a bottle, nor a song nor a conversation could 'ere last too long Not a heartbeat, nor a rhyme Never a marriage not this time Nothing lasts forever my friend! Not even the pages we scribe! Neither oil nor acrylic even water based leaks under the test of time No ink will outlast us No pencil could describe either of our loneliness completely erased by the tide Nothing lasts forever The sunset taught me that! The sunrise fools us into thinking that the sun will stay where it sat It's why we keep on going knowing, nothing will ever last We die each night only to wake pretending we forgot the past

Nothing Lasts Forever
Not one thing! Not a bottle, nor a song nor a conversation could 'ere last too long Not a heartbeat, nor a rhyme Never a marriage not this time Nothing lasts forever my friend! Not even the pages we scribe! Neither oil nor acrylic even water based leaks under the test of time No ink will outlast us No pencil could describe either of our loneliness completely erased by the tide Nothing lasts forever The sunset taught me that! The sunrise fools us into thinking that the sun will stay where it sat It's why we keep on going knowing, nothing will ever last We die each night only to wake pretending we forgot the past
