[Verse 1]
And the birds still sing outside these
These windows, where we sat together
Like nothin' ever happened here, oh
Oh, the white house on the hill and black clouds o' weather

[Verse 2]
And the church spire, over the river
She still sits there, warm in the evening glow
But you don't care about these scenes I treasure
'Bout these west winds, I know, I know

[Pre-Chorus]
Seems everythin' around here stays like stone
Seems it's about time, darlin', 'bout time we let this all go

[Chorus]
Mm, 'cause everythin' must start again, anew
'Cause everythin' just goes that way, my friend
And every king who knows it to be true
That every kingdom must one day come to an e-e-end

[Post-Chorus]
E-e-end, oh-oh-oh, e-e-end
E-e-end, mm-mm
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
And the sun, eh, she may be long gone
Oh, lost to these memories we've found
But she'll be here when it's all done
When our bodies are layin' beneath the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Seems everythin' that goes around, comes, comes around here
Seems everythin' that stays, babe, somehow gets me down again

[Chorus]
Mm, everythin' (ooh) must start again, anew
'Cause everythin' just goes that way, my friend
And every king (ooh) who knows it to be true
That every kingdom (ooh) must one day come to an e-e-end (oh)

[Outro]
E-e-end, oh-oh-oh, e-e-end (oh)
E-e-end (ooh-ooh)
