♪♫ All the things you think and say

Float away into space

Done in thought or done in haste

They have no place, they leave no trace



All the things you think and do

Have become a part of you

All your deeds have come to pass

Nothing lasts, nothing lasts



Like a river flowing past your windowpane

Life's never the same

Like the sun you're born to set

You'll die in sin

And be born once again



Now you know, so damn well

That your life is a heaven and a hell

And it's very easy to tell

When you're sick and when you're well



So the secret to this life

Is so very easy to learn

If you ever love another

Never ask for anything in return



Like a river flowing past your windowpane

Life's never the same

Like the sun you're born to set

You'll die in sin

And be born once again



All the things you think and say

Float away into space

Done in thought or done in haste

They have no place, they leave no trace



All the things you think and do

Have become a part of you

All your deeds have come to pass

Nothing lasts, nothing lasts ♪♫





This album is dedicated to Mahalia Jackson and Junior Parker.
