Nothing Ever lasts it seems (song)

Nothing ever lasts it seems
We spend our lives attempting things
But every flower ever planted
Withered up and simply vanished

(chorus)
I’ve got this on ma mind
Never had to worry what I might find
Always had, plenty o’ time
In the heat I enjoy sunlight
But when the sky turns to gray
And the day turns all away
You were on my mind.

I don’t want short term elation
When the party stops I’ve ‘spectations
You make me laugh feel good inside
But I won’t show next time you hide

(chorus)

Point your figure back at me
I’m the one you never see
Always planting always busy
What am I supposed to say?

These things--They don’t go away!

And now (chorus)

You were on my mind. 2x

I sail these seas treasure I’ve found
But I’ve had to bury it all around
What’s the point of having all this gold
When you can’t have it when you’re old?

(chorus)

And you fade away. 4x
