Nothing Lasts
All the things you think and say
Float away into space
Done in thought or done in haste
They have no place, they leave no trace
All the things you think and do
Have become a part of you
All your deeds have come to pass
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Like a river flowing past your windowpane
Life's never the same
Like the sun you're born to set
You'll die in sin
And be born once again
Now you know, so damn well
That your life is a heaven and a hell
And it's very easy to tell
When you're sick and when you're well
So the secret to this life
Is so very easy to learn
If you ever love another
Never ask for anything in return
Like a river flowing past your windowpane
Life's never the same
Like the sun you're born to set
You'll die in sin
And be born once again
All the things you think and say
Float away into space
Done in thought or done in haste
They have no place, they leave no trace
All the things you think and do
Have become a part of you
All your deeds have come to pass
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Float away into space
Done in thought or done in haste
They have no place, they leave no trace
All the things you think and do
Have become a part of you
All your deeds have come to pass
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Like a river flowing past your windowpane
Life's never the same
Like the sun you're born to set
You'll die in sin
And be born once again
Now you know, so damn well
That your life is a heaven and a hell
And it's very easy to tell
When you're sick and when you're well
So the secret to this life
Is so very easy to learn
If you ever love another
Never ask for anything in return
Like a river flowing past your windowpane
Life's never the same
Like the sun you're born to set
You'll die in sin
And be born once again
All the things you think and say
Float away into space
Done in thought or done in haste
They have no place, they leave no trace
All the things you think and do

Going To The Country
Gonna leave the city put my troubles behind
People in the city goin' out of their minds
Goin' to the country just to feel like gold
People in the country really let themselves go
Hey, ho, one thing I know
People in the country got one thing for sure
Hey, ho, one thing I know
Every mother's child really lets himself go
Goin' to the country and leavin' right away
No time to talk I got to make a getaway
Gonna leave the city it's a crime and a shame
People in the city are goin' insane
Hey, ho, one thing I know
Every mother's child really lets himself go
Hey, ho, one thing I know
People in the country really let themselves go
Joining hands
Making plans
Come on down
Look around
People in the city goin' out of their minds
Goin' to the country just to feel like gold
People in the country really let themselves go
Hey, ho, one thing I know
People in the country got one thing for sure
Hey, ho, one thing I know
Every mother's child really lets himself go
Goin' to the country and leavin' right away

Hey, ho, one thing I know
Every mother's child really lets himself go
Hey, ho, one thing I know
People in the country really let themselves go

Kitchen Blues
The Window
Ask my baby what she wants to be
She'll say a monkey swingin' in a tree
Ask my baby what she's thinkin' of
She'll say there's nothing greater than love
Well, look through the window
Tell me what do you see
A beautiful planet
Peace and harmony
Think love you're surrounded
We are one you and I
Gather your leaves together
There's only love until we die
Until we die
Ask my baby what she's goin' through
She'll say the same thing, the same thing as you
Ask my baby what she's thinkin' of
She'll say there's nothing greater than love
Look through the window
Tell me what do you see
A beautiful planet
Peace and harmony
Think love you're surrounded
We are one you and I
Gather your leaves together
There's only love until we die
Until we die
She'll say a monkey swingin' in a tree
Ask my baby what she's thinkin' of
She'll say there's nothing greater than love
Well, look through the window
Tell me what do you see
A beautiful planet
Peace and harmony
Think love you're surrounded
We are one you and I
Gather your leaves together
There's only love until we die
Until we die
Ask my baby what she's goin' through
She'll say the same thing, the same thing as you
Ask my baby what she's thinkin' of
She'll say there's nothing greater than love
Look through the window

Wild Mountain Honey
Ooh, mama
Well look what's been done
You can only see the stars
After a setting sun
You run for the money
You don't even know about wild mountain honey
Come on mama
Heal this lonesome man
Grow the tree of wholeness
In this desert land
Come on children
Now learn how to run
By heaven, the stars, the moon and the sun
Come on papa
Your end is the means
Don't trade your love and goodness
For the golden machine
You run for the money
You don't even know about wild mountain honey
Well look what's been done
You can only see the stars
After a setting sun
You run for the money
You don't even know about wild mountain honey
Come on mama
Heal this lonesome man
Grow the tree of wholeness
In this desert land
Come on children
Now learn how to run
By heaven, the stars, the moon and the sun
Come on papa
Your end is the means
Don't trade your love and goodness
For the golden machine
You run for the money
You don't even know about wild mountain honey
Song For Our Ancestors
Did you see the lights
As they fell all around you
Did you hear the music
Serenade from the stars
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in s___e
And the time is our own
Whoa, whoa
Iiiiiiiiii
Did you feel the wind
As it blew all around you
Did you feel the love
That was in the air
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in s___e
And the time is our own
Whoa, whoa
Iiiiiiiiii
The sun comes up
And it shines all around you
You're lost in s___e
And the earth is your own
Whoa, whoa
Whoa
As they fell all around you
Did you hear the music
Serenade from the stars
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in s___e
And the time is our own
Whoa, whoa
Iiiiiiiiii
Did you feel the wind
As it blew all around you
Did you feel the love
That was in the air
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in s___e
And the time is our own
Whoa, whoa
Iiiiiiiiii
The sun comes up
And it shines all around you
You're lost in s___e
And the earth is your own
Whoa, whoa
Whoa
Seasons
Summer, fall, winter, spring
Of the seasons I will sing
To help you through your birth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
The summer song won't last long
When this warm old man has come
I'll sing your of your birth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
And so it goes
As the wind blows
The seasons will flow
To help you through your birth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
A mother's child
A father's son
In this crowd, I'm only one
To tell you of your worth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
And so it goes
As the wind blows
And so it goes
As the wind blows
Of the seasons I will sing
To help you through your birth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
The summer song won't last long
When this warm old man has come
I'll sing your of your birth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
And so it goes
As the wind blows
The seasons will flow
To help you through your birth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
A mother's child
A father's son
In this crowd, I'm only one
To tell you of your worth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
And so it goes
As the wind blows
And so it goes
As the wind blows
