Greg Brown - Here In The Going Going Gone Lyrics

Send "Here In The Going Going Gone" ringtone to your cell

Dark laughter on the teeter-totter

An old song floats across the water

I know i should pack up and move on.

One-note johnnies proliferate

The wind rises the hour is late

Here in the going going gone.

My heart ain't mine my heart is yours -

Or else i left it out-of-doors

Like a baseball glove out on the lawn.

I'd walk through fire to retrieve it

But still you never would believe it

Here in the going going gone.

Everywhere you look you see

More of you and more of me

Scrambling for the goods the lines are drawn.

Peace and quiet - is there any?

We are the beautiful too many -

Here in the going going gone.

Modern love's loaded gun.

I live alone and love everyone

And i feel pretty good. is that so wrong?

Passion called and i would blow it.

Now i'm an old chinese poet

Here in the going going gone.

Porch full of winter squash and pumpkin

Summer's always really somethin'

But one day fall arrives with a chilly dawn.

While lovers make love in warm beds

The forsaken sit and scratch their heads

Here in the going going gone.

The rain keeps falling on the flood.

The flower closes to a bud.

All my gifts you say are just a con.

But i'll always want to be your friend.

That is my prayer until amen -

Here in the going going gone.
