You could spend your whole life
Wanting what you don't have
Tangled in the pain and strife
Dragging up the ghost of your past

You can curse the rain
But the river remains
Even as it all goes by

Baby, it's a long road
To the promised land
And there are dreams we hold
In the palm of our hand

We can never know
How the story will end
Even as it all goes by

Flying through the hourglass
Like a grain of sand
Every moment opens
Right in our hands

So love me like a slow dance
On a fast train
Kiss me while the world flies past
And the scenery is changed

And as time goes through
I will hold on to you
Even as it all goes by

Flying through the hourglass
Like a grain of sand
Every moment opens
Right in our hands

As fleeting as the first light
On a window sill
Reaching through the darkest night
It can never be still

Like the earth that spins
Where it ends it begins
Even as it all goes by
Even as it all goes by
Either way it all goes by
