Eternal Need Not be Forever.

Eternal Need Not be Forever.

Eternal need not be forever
Unending too will end.
A bend that forms in any river
May straighten out again
And you could be a friend.

And nothing new is ever born
Death is forever dying
And dates on calendars are wrong
The tough are crying
And you could be a friend.

(chorus )
Grand narratives have nothing much to say..
The Vaguest dreams can crystalise
Dull is an inspiration in some ways
I toast to you with my teary eyes
My wine flows into stone
And you could be a friend..ooh oh
You could be a friend.

To share a table with another
Can be the loneliest of feasts
The warmest heart
Can cool the quickest/fastest
The most can be the least
But you could be a friend.

The falling tear can be the stillest
The weakest thorn can wound
A bend that forms in any river
Can straighten out again
And you could be a friend.
