  • 'Kay?

    Change, like the wind, like the water, like skin
    Change, like the sky, like the leaves, like a butterfly

    Would you live forever, never die
    While everything around passes?
    Would you smile forever, never cry
    While everything you know passes?

    Death's like a door to a place we've never been before
    Death, like space, the deep sea, a suitcase

    Would you stare forever at the sun
    Never watch the moon rising?
    Would you walk forever in the light
    To never learn the secret of the quiet night?

    Still, like a stone, like a hill, like home
    Still, what I find, is you were always on my mind

    Could I feel happy for you
    When I hear you talk with her like we used to?
    Could I set everything free
    When I watch you holding her the way you once held me?

    Change, like the sky, like the leaves, like a butterfly
    Death, like a door to a place we've never been before

    Would you live forever, never die
    While everything around passes?
    Would you smile forever, never cry? Writer/s: Adrianne Lenker
