Tumbledown

It's just a matter of time a figure of speech

That springs to mind throughout the day

As the minutes go by, a second thought

A moment lost, time ticks away

And everything changes

Forever never lasts

No such thing as always

It's all too soon the past

Tumbledown, tumbledown

Tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Tumbledown, tumbledown

Tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Rain Gods with Zippos

A tin man's with a heart

An end with no beginning

It's just a race without a start

That you'll never win

That you cannot lose and you fall apart

Tumbledown, tumbledown

Tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Tumbledown, tumbledown

Tumble, tumble, tumbledown

The tarot declares a motion made

A finger traps an empty glass

The needles begin to make their mark

You try to hide, you're leavin' tracks

I dream of fire and water

Dream of deserts, dream up plans

Like mountains and castles

They're only grains of sand that

Tumbledown, tumbledown

Tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Tumbledown, tumbledown

Tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Rain Gods with Zippos

A tin man's bleedin' heart

An end with no beginning

It's just a race without a start

That you'll never win

That you cannot lose so you fall apart

And tumbledown, tumbledown

Tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Tumbledown, tumbledown

Tumble, tumble, tumbledown
