Everyone's Going Away

Now we're all older and now I can see
All of these sad songs have something for me
Everyone's going away
Everyone's going away

I don't feel like a young man anymore
You can beg us to stay but you can't lock the door
Everyone's going away
Everyone's going away

The holidays were sweet and brief
The love came through despite the grief
What we couldn't say went unsaid
Still I'm grateful for my bed
Soon we'll be saying goodbye
It's true that we all have to die


Now we're all older and now and I can see
All of these sad songs have something for me
Everyone's going away
Everyone's going away

I don't feel like a young man anymore
You can beg us to stay but you can't lock the door Everyone's going away
Everyone's going away
