William Elliott Whitmore - Lord Only Knows lyrics
[William Elliott Whitmore - Lord Only Knows lyrics]
Well, them loved ones who were
Paddlin' for that far shore
They're lilies of the field who
Will bloom ever more
Well, they have gone over to the next phase
And brought to an end their earthly days
And lord only knows how's it's gonna end
Who stays and who goes lord only knows
And every good chapter it comes to a close
Nothing lasts forever, lord only knows
Them flowers from your funeral
Are starting to wilt
From cigarette smoke and a room full of guilt
But it was better for
Them than sticking around
Cause they lost their will to live when
They were ripped from the ground
And lord only knows how it's gonna end
What dies and what goes lord only knows
Well, you had a heart as big as the sky
And for a good long time it held me inside
But it was better for
You than sticking around
Cause you lost your will to live
In this river front town
Enjoy it while you can cause lord only knows
Paddlin' for that far shore
They're lilies of the field who
Will bloom ever more
Well, they have gone over to the next phase
And brought to an end their earthly days
And lord only knows how's it's gonna end
Who stays and who goes lord only knows
And every good chapter it comes to a close
Nothing lasts forever, lord only knows
Them flowers from your funeral
Are starting to wilt
From cigarette smoke and a room full of guilt
But it was better for
Them than sticking around
Cause they lost their will to live when
They were ripped from the ground
And lord only knows how it's gonna end
What dies and what goes lord only knows
Well, you had a heart as big as the sky
And for a good long time it held me inside
But it was better for
You than sticking around
Cause you lost your will to live
In this river front town
Enjoy it while you can cause lord only knows
