Along The Stream

[verse 1] i took a walk this morning, past the willow trees saw a bottle bobbing, floating where it please someone's message tucked inside, i wonder what it read (oooh oooh ooooh) a child's toy went sailing by then a photograph somebody's better days (oooh oooh ooooh) [chorus] everything just drifts and tumbles, nothing stays the same along the stream [interlude] (pa pa pa pa...) (pa pa pa pa...) [verse 2] there goes a wedding ring, catching bits of sun next a broken pocket watch from nineteen-fifty-one flowers still tied together, though the ribbon's come undone (whooa whoooa whooaa) i count the passing moments like the current counts what we've loved and lost (whooa whoooa whooaa) [chorus] everything just drifts and tumbles, nothing stays the same along the stream [bridge] and i'm standing on the bank here, watching time roll on some things sparkle as they travel, some just sink and they're gone maybe that's the way it goes, we can't hold every dawn we just let the water carry what we can't hold on [chorus] everything just drifts and tumbles, nothing stays the same along the stream [outro] along the stream (along the stream) watch it all go (watch it go) along the stream (along the stream) let the river flow (let it flow) along the stream (along the stream) everything moves on (moves on) along the stream (along the stream) here and then it's gone (then it's gone) along the stream... (along the stream...) along the stream... along the stream... (along the stream...) along the stream...
