[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 But you don't care about all these scenes I treasure Well these west winds, I know, I know [Bridge] Seems everything around here stays like stone Seems it's about time, darling About time we let this all go [Chorus] Cause everything starts again anew Cause everything just goes that way my friend And every king knows it to be true That every kingdom must one day come to an end [Verse 2] And the sun, she may be long gone O lost, to these memories we found But she'll be here, when it's all done When our bodies are lain beneath the ground Seems everything that goes around Comes, comes around here Seems everything that stays here Somehow, gets me down again [Chorus] Cause everything starts again anew Cause everything just goes that way my friend And every king knows it to be true That every kingdom must one day come to an end
