lyrics

Taking my breath in, my reflection in the river
in the river.
All of my memories flashing in me
makes me shiver, makes me shiver.
Things will be here, be here when I'm gone.
Things will be here, be here when I'm gone.

A face that looks like a sun-dried plum that sat too long,
sat too long.
Here for the moment, soon
I'll be going on-- on.
But will my love still be here when I'm gone?
And will your love still be here when I'm gone?

O tears fall in the stream.
O is it just a dream?
Just a dream,
just a dream.

It's always been.
From the first day till the end.
How the sun melts the snow
and each year the tulips grow,
then they go--
that's the punchline to the joke.
But don't you cry,
don't you cry.
When I'm up there in the sky,
no I won't have bones,
no aches or moans,
and you'll still feel the winter's cold.
But it won't last forever,
nothing ever does, my friend.
Just like me.
I'm out the door.
I've got a date in less than four.

And it was so nice to see you.
