Everything Gets Gone

I was born in these woods and these hills are my home

And the fields will be ready when the springtime comes

But I'm just here for a little while

I'm just here for a little while

Like a tree by the river, I'm holding on

But everything gets gone

Everything gets gone

On the gravel road, oh, about a mile down

There's an old farm house with a fence around

The windows are broken, the roof is falling in

It's never going to be a home again

Like shutters in the wind, I'm holding on

But everything gets gone

Everything gets gone

These gravestones of the ones that were here before

They're never going to live or love anymore

We're just here for a little while

We're just here for a little while

Like a deathbed man who can't hold on

Everything gets gone

Everything gets gone

Everything gets gone

Everything gets gone
