This Too Shall Pass

When it's windy in the morning

And you're cloudy all day

When the night arrives at last

When it just won't go away

When your eyes are sick with wonder

And your heart is in a cast

This too shall pass

When the city turns to limbs

When you're waiting for the train

When she welcomes you with pity

In half an inch of rain

When you're playing at ten-thirty

And if anyone should ask

This too shall pass

This western call

This too shall fall

These northern skies

These too shall rise

This way you feel

This too shall heal

This hour glass

This too shall pass

She loves me when I'm lazy

And she loves me when I'm wild

She loves me when I'm hazy

And she loves me when I'm a child

We figured out how to make a good thing last

But this too shall pass

This too shall pass
