Slaid Cleaves - Temporary lyrics

Fall down on your knees Hear the whisper through the trees No one's come to save you Let fade the little lies The sentimental cries Behold what nature gave you All you see Every love and every dream Temporary As the morning dew will turn to steam Battered by the years We'll quit this vale of tears And leave the world to turn The voice of midnight comes And spoken on its tongue: Man's infinite concern All you see Every joy and every sting Temporary As the blooming of the rose in spring Live well and learn to die Soon in the dust you'll lie With everything you know Cruel d**h will not spare The wise, the young or fair Let us drain this cup of woe All you see Every thing and every friend Temporary A love you thought would never end Every love and every dream And every joy and every sting Temporary The lullaby your mother would sing
