Everything Goes

Plucked a silver strand from my heavy-handed head
Checked the root like a botanist digging up her bed
Remind myself it could be worse, I could be dead
I'm working very hard to forget

That everything goes
Everything goes

Remember when they built the bridge, sand between our toes
Laughing at the gulls, Springsteen on the radio
Close my eyes, that moment's just a moment ago
I'm sure I knew it then, sure I knew

That everything would go
Everything goes, everything goes

Well, dying leaves shake when the wind blows in
Wild geese go when the air runs thin
Where does grief end, where does laughing begin
Why does it have to be so

Why does everything go
Everything goes

When the weight settles in with a Dali clock dread
When it seems the whole world is twelve steps ahead
When all of it's done and everything's said
I think that it's a pleasure to know

That everything goes
Everything goes, everything goes
Everything goes, everything goes
