Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And the birds still sing outside these
These windows
Where we sat together
Like nothing ever happened here, oh
The white house on the hill
Black clouds the weather
And the church spire over the river
She still sits there
Warm in the evening glow
[Verse 2]
But you don't care about
These scenes I treasure
About these west winds
I know, I know
Seems like everything around here
Stays like stone
Seems it's about time, darling
About time we let this all go
[Verse 3]
'Cause everything will start again, anew
'Cause everything just goes away, my friend
And every king knows it to be true
That every kingdom must one day come to an end
[Verse 4]
And the sun, it maybe be long gone
Or lost to these memories we found
But she'll be here when it's all done
When our bodies laying beneath the ground
She knows everything that goes around
Comes, comes around here
She knows everything that stays here somehow
Gets me down again
[Verse 5]
Everything will start again, anew
'Cause everything just goes away, my friend
And every king knows it to be true
That every kingdom must one day come to an end
