Oldest Story in the World Lyrics by The Plimsouls

Everywhere at Once

0

It makes perfect sense
Seeing how the seeds were sown
To find you out there on your own
You said your goodbyes
And broke all the ties
It struck me dumb
To think I tried for you
Tonight you can feel
The seasons changing
You'll never change
When you're no better than the weather
You're cool
But there's rain in your heart
You're blowin' like a feather
And that's the oldest story in the world
You lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Did we have it made?
Somehow I thought we could remain
If nothing lasts
No one's to blame
And you can't look back
To where you got off the track
That's a mystery that we'll never crack
It's just the oldest story in the world
We lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Someday we gotta to set it right
And that's the oldest story in the world
You'll hear it again and again
That's the oldest story in the world, yeah
Somehow I thought we could remain
If nothing lasts
No one's to blame
And you can't look back
To where you got off the track
That's a mystery that we'll never crack
And that's the oldest story in the world
Lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Someday we gotta to set it right
That's the oldest story in the world
Just like a rolling stone
That's the oldest story, that's the oldest story
Now you can't go home
And that's the oldest story in the world, yeah
"Well, I don't want to leave
But it's time to go"
"Where?"
"Well, I just don't know"
And that's the oldest story in the world
