And the birds still sing outside 
These windows where we sat together 
Like nothing ever happened here 
The white house on the hill black clouds of weather 

And the church spire over the river 
She still sits there warm in the evening glow 
But you don't care about these scenes I treasure 
About these west winds. I know. I know 

Seems everything around here 
Stays like stone 
Seems it's about time darling 
We let all this go 
Everything must start again anew 
Everything just goes that way my friend 
Every king knows it to be true 
That every kingdom must one day come to an end 

And the sun, she may be long gone 
Lost to these memories we found 
But she'll be here when it's all done 
When our bodies are lain beneath the ground 

Seems that everything that goes around 
Comes around here 
Seems that everything that stays 
Somehow gets me down again
