I took a hammer, and a chisel iron cold, And had my dreams engraved on a mountaintop of stone. But the mountain crumbled my dreams in seas of blue; There's nothing in this world as forever as you. I touched the earth with a question in my hand, I asked two holy men to help me understand.
But the preachers quarrelled as to just what I should do; There's nothing in this world as forever as you. In these temporary days, You're my sole and saving grace, There is nothing in this world as forever as you.
