Everything Flows

Anita Lipnicka


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
