Everything Flows - Anita Lipnicka, John Porter

Last time when I was standing here

It was Summer 1991

I had flowers in my long blond hair

And two sparks dancing in my eyes

I was crazy about this gorgeous boy

He looked like James Dean on his motorbike

We thought that love was just holding hands

And watching the Moon at night

Then the Autumn came

And all the colours changed

What I’d seen in him

I couldn’t see again

'Cause everything flows

And nothing stands still

Everything flows

And always will

Last time I was walking down this street

I felt the burning rage against this world

I had stones in my pockets, I was ready to fight

In the name of broken souls

I didn’t eat meat, I fed homeless cats

I was deeply in touch with The Holy Ghost

I believed everything depended on me

When I sang my protest songs

The day I realized

I couldn’t save the Earth

I went to the nearest bar

And head a big fat steak

'Cause everything flows

And nothing stands still

Everything flows

And always will

Today I just smile when I look at my past

By now I’ve learnt to take life as it comes

I have no expectations, I dream carefully

Under this starless city skies

I’ve lost my illusions along the way

And now I’m far too smart to trust my eyes

'Cause what I see might not be real

I know my instincts can lie

I live from day to day

Grateful for what I’ve go

Happily reconciled

With the saddest fact

'Cause everything flows

And nothing stands still

Everything flows

And always will

Oh!

Time, time, time

You’re the greatest thief

How come you always get away with things?

People blame people

For each change and every lose

When it’s all your fault!

'Cause everything flows

And nothing stands still

Everything flows

And always will
