Look On

Come down to the shoulder
Forgiving and wide
Everybody's growing hoarser
From talking at the same time

That mean old general's just retired
Away on some lake
And all the people that started fires
Had a downpour last week

And the snakes at your heels
Are now coiled and asleep
Tonight

Look on
Look on
All of this will be gone
Look on
Look on
Nothing ever lasts for long
By and by

Everything that you know
Know to be true
Is green and black
Or brown and blue
And stares back at you

So here's to bushels, cords, and bales
And landscapes hung in rooms
German shepherd
Goldenrod
And the Strawberry Moon
Oh, the fawn that is always born
Knowing what to do

Look on
Look on
All of this will be gone
Look on
Look on
Nothing ever lasts for long
By and by
