Nothing Can Stay Long
Mama always told me nothing can stay long
Mama always told me nothing can stay long
She'd rock me in the night whisperin' a song
Sang, "Everything you love is a falling leaf
"Everything you love is a falling leaf"
Yeah, Mama always told me
Nothing can stay long
Daddy always told me God has the sharpest teeth
Daddy always told me God has the sharpest teeth
He spent a lotta days just waitin' on his grief
Said, "Grief and love are petals on the same wildflower
"Grief and love are petals on the same wildflower"
Yeah, Daddy always told me
God has the sharpest teeth
The house where I grew up had a hidden tower
The house where I grew up had a hidden tower
Yeah, I'd climb the stairs and hide hour after hour
Listening for the sound of a secret chord
Listening for the sound of a secret chord
Yeah, the house where I grew up
Had a hidden tower
I'm just sittin' here waiting at your door
I'm just sittin' here waiting at your door
Still as a brooding swan and the rain is pouring
Thinkin' bout what it's like to be strong as stone
Thinkin' bout what it's like to be strong as stone
Yeah, I'm just sittin' here
Waiting at your door
And I'm afraid there ain't nobody home
Yeah, I'm afraid there ain't nobody home
The blade is off the limb and I'm all alone
(Blade is off the limb and I'm all alone)
I never saw you leave, how can you be gone?
Never saw you leave, how can you be gone?
Yeah, I'm so afraid
Oh I'm so afraid
Yeah I'm so afraid, oh
There ain't nobody home
(Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay)
Oh, Mama always told me
Mama always told me nothing can stay long
She'd rock me in the night whisperin' a song
Sang, "Everything you love is a falling leaf
"Everything you love is a falling leaf"
Yeah, Mama always told me
Nothing can stay long
Daddy always told me God has the sharpest teeth
Daddy always told me God has the sharpest teeth
He spent a lotta days just waitin' on his grief
Said, "Grief and love are petals on the same wildflower
"Grief and love are petals on the same wildflower"
Yeah, Daddy always told me
God has the sharpest teeth
The house where I grew up had a hidden tower
The house where I grew up had a hidden tower
Yeah, I'd climb the stairs and hide hour after hour
Listening for the sound of a secret chord
Listening for the sound of a secret chord
Yeah, the house where I grew up
Had a hidden tower
I'm just sittin' here waiting at your door
I'm just sittin' here waiting at your door
Still as a brooding swan and the rain is pouring
Thinkin' bout what it's like to be strong as stone
Thinkin' bout what it's like to be strong as stone
Yeah, I'm just sittin' here
Waiting at your door
And I'm afraid there ain't nobody home
Yeah, I'm afraid there ain't nobody home
The blade is off the limb and I'm all alone
(Blade is off the limb and I'm all alone)
I never saw you leave, how can you be gone?
Never saw you leave, how can you be gone?
Yeah, I'm so afraid
Oh I'm so afraid
Yeah I'm so afraid, oh
There ain't nobody home
(Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay)
Oh, Mama always told me
