[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
