Well, them loved ones who were paddlin' for that far shore |
|
They're lilies of the field who will bloom ever more |
|
Well, they have gone over to the next phase |
|
And brought to an end their earthly days |
|
And lord only knows how's it's gonna end |
|
Who stays and who goes |
|
Lord only knows |
|
And every good chapter it comes to a close |
|
Nothing lasts forever, lord only knows |
|
Them flowers from your funeral are starting to wilt |
|
From cigarette smoke and a room full of guilt |
|
But it was better for them than sticking around |
|
Cause they lost their will to live when they were ripped from the ground |
|
And lord only knows how it's gonna end |
|
What dies and what goes |
|
Lord only knows |
|
Well, you had a heart as big as the sky |
|
And for a good long time it held me inside |
|
But it was better for you than sticking around |
|
Cause you lost your will to live in this river front town |
|
Enjoy it while you can cause lord only knows |
