Songtext Change Norah Jones

Change

Change like the wind
Like the water, like skin
Change like the sky
Like the leaves, like a butterfly

Would you live forever, never die
While everything around passes?
Would you smile forever, never cry
While everything you know passes?

Death's like a door
To a place we've never been before
Death, like space
Like a deep sea, a suitcase

Would you stare forever at the sun
And never watch the moon rising?
Would you walk forever in the light
To never learn the secret of the quiet night?

Still like a stone
Like a hill, like home
Still, what I find
Is you are always on my mind

Could I feel happy for you
When I hear you talk with her like we used to?
Could I set everything free
When I watch you holding her the way you once held me?

Change like the sky
Like the leaves, like a butterfly
Death, like a door
To a place we've never been before

Would you live forever, never die
While everything around passes?
Would you smile forever, never cry?
While everything you know passes?
