Lyrics
going going gone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It won't last forever
It's there and then it's gone
Burns out like firewood
And fades out like a song
And I have no answers darling
It's neither right or wrong but when the hammer comes down
It is going going gone
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the luck of the draw
It's funny how the people with the most
Are the ones who are reaching out for more
There's no rhyme or reason darling
It's neither short nor long
But when the hammer comes down
It is going going gone
Like sunshine on the ocean
You can't catch it in your hands if you tried
Like waking from a dream that's fading
And the more that you chase it the less that you can taste it
Till all you have's the echo of a song
For when the hammer comes down
It is going going going gone
