Marin Mazzie & Jason Danieley Follow

JASON:
A bridge is built
For a minute it's new
Then a crack begins
Some rust shows through

The shiny paint peels
The cables fray
What was perfect and true
Starts to fade away

It's just the natural order of things
Without constant care
And endless repair
A bridge standing tall
Will topple and fall
It's just the natural order of things

MARIN:
A garden is sown
For a time it will bloom
Then a weed takes root
And steals more room

The leaves go dry
Young buds fall away
What was lush and green
Turns a tangle of grey

It's just the natural order of things
Without tender care
And patience to spare
The garden you tend
Will come to an end
It's just the natural order of things

JASON:
A bridge will fall

MARIN:
A garden will die

BOTH:
I sit here alone
And now I know why

JASON:
A promise was made

BOTH:
Two lives were one

JASON:
Then time went by
The two came undone
A kiss was stolen

MARIN:
A lie was told

JASON:
Then a vow was broken

BOTH:
And a touch turned cold

JASON:
It's just the natural order of things
Without simple care

MARIN:
And being aware

BOTH:
In the strongest of hearts
Carelessness starts

JASON:
It's just the natural order

MARIN:
The natural order

JASON:
It's the natural order

MARIN:
The natural order

JASON:
The natural order

BOTH:
Of things
