All Things Must Change

The road was long
Our steps were new
The storms of innocence
Strong and fresh they blew
Directions turned
Love changing hands
We stood like gods before
Our maps and plans
But all things must change
So don’t look back, just walk away
That morning dawn
With no regrets
We stood in line we laughed
In silhouette
On the learning ground
The place we loved the best
That was our final time
Out in the west
But all things must change
So don’t look back, just walk away
Now the cars come like rivers
Night comes like madness
Songs come like trains
Headlights flash in the darkness
Memories twist in the rain
And we feel those flickering moments
Like silk there the flags of our days
And the past is only the part of life
We’ve thrown away
The river’s dark
In constant flow
Swollen by winter streams
And the melting snow
I see your face
Across the miles
To where some kindness showed
Our fate entwined
But all things must change
So don’t look back, just walk away
