Transient Lyrics

Temporary, transient, dissolving, evaporating and blowing away

Things don't come back tomorrow and feel like yesterday

With the gulf winds that blow across the palm trees and the sand

And those who once held me close who can't keep me close at hand

Temporary, transient, dissolving, evaporating and blowing away

Absolute, unwavering, entrenched, immobile and probably here to stay

Things don't come back tomorrow and feel like yesterday

Like the pyramids, my love for you, or this aching trembling awe

You never know what spring will bring until you start to thaw

Temporary, transient, dissolving, evaporating and blowing away

Schizophrenic waffling, unsure where time will lead or what I'll say

Things don't come back tomorrow and feel like yesterday

Like a flash flood or a an earthquake or a vile nightmarish fit

You won't recognize love at first sight the second time you see it

Temporary, transient, dissolving, evaporating and blowing away

Persistence, stubbornness, singularity of purpose, they'll make you pay

Things don't come back tomorrow and feel like yesterday

There's nothing you can do or say, you and I are fate

Come with me I'll compromise, I swear it's not too late

Temporary, transient, dissolving, evaporating and blowing away

Driving around in circles like a jockey on a track

Ain't it obvious above it all I've got to get you back back

Back to you and all your sultry charms, those inviting games you play

Things don't come back tomorrow and feel like yesterday

Temporary, transient, dissolving, evaporating and blowing away

Everything is gone from here, I'm naked 'neath the sun, I start to pray

Things don't come back tomorrow and feel like yesterday

People are staring at me as I'm standing on this hill

I'm all used up and I can't find my way towards any kind of thrill

Temporary, transient, dissolving, evaporating and blowing away
