Worse comes to worst
I’ll get along
I don’t know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Oh, and if I don’t have a car, I’ll hitch
I got a thumb and she’s a son of a bitch
I do my writing on my road guitar
And make a living at a piano bar, oh
Worse comes to worst
I’ll get along
I don’t know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Oh, and if I don’t have a car, I’ll hitch
I got a thumb and she’s a son of a bitch
I do my writing on my road guitar
And make a living at a piano bar, oh
Sunrise doesn’t last all morning
A cloudburst doesn’t last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It’s not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn’t last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
Its not always going to be this grey
If I only had the urge to tell you
If you only knew how hard it is to say
When the simple lines have all been taken
And the radio repeats them ev’ry day.
If I never find the song to sing you
If you always find it hard to comprehend
Well, you know there wouldn’t be much meaning
If I had to sing those tired words again.
Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever
And it’s all been done before
Ah, but you ain’t got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor
No more
See how all the people gather ‘round
Hey, isn’t it a thrill to see them crawl?
Keep your eyes ahead and don’t look down
Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall
This is what you wanted; ain’t you proud?
‘Cause everybody loves you now
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I’m searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
-Billy Joel, “The River Of Dreams”
How many years can a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist,
before they’re allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head,
and pretend that he just doesn’t see?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
How many times must a man look up,
before he sees the sky?
And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry?
And how many deaths will it take till we know,
that too many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
