Lyrics
EVERY GOOD THING FALLS AWAY by Stephen Graff Now we stand at the river’s edge. We’ve gone through our savings but we’ve lost every bet. There’s an old man standing next to me he closes his eyes and says “this used to be easy.” REFRAIN: Every good thing....falls away. Every good man....gets caught in the fray. And women come home...and count what they made: the ladders they climbed...the children they saved. Sunfall is quickening, the old men are waiting watching the planes as they cross the black river. Our bags are packed and the car engine’s running the highway is dark and the atmosphere’s humming. REFRAIN SOLO REFRAIN Because we are tired, the light is now fading and into these waters where both of us wade. Watching the sky and waiting for something the promise of time or the chance to be saved. REFRAIN
