[01:17.72]Because when we ride together [01:21.15]Our lives are cloaked forever [01:27.47]Happiness is temporary [01:30.78]Believe me, I know [01:34.46]It can arrive as a shining crystal [01:38.08]And leave as the melting snow [01:42.07]Come all you lads and lasses [01:45.94]The Kingdom of Childhood passes [01:56.80]Oh, but I am hardy in these years [02:04.22]Or I'd have sunk down with my tears [02:08.71]To the earth beneath my feet [02:14.89]I want to endure the slings and arrows [02:22.32]That Hamlet spoke about [02:24.81]But harrowed, [02:27.12]He was forced to a ragged defeat [02:34.86]There was a method to his madness [02:42.16]But overcome by pride and sadness [02:47.28]He did not endure [02:53.59]Surely his death was a grave mistake [03:00.39]How many deaths do we really calculate? [03:06.00]Isn't it true, Lord [03:09.12]Tragedies happen when you're bored? [03:15.23]Happiness is temporary [03:18.04]Believe me, I know [03:21.91]It can arrive as a shining crystal [03:25.34]And leave as the melting snow [03:29.83]Come all you lads and lasses [03:33.89]The Kingdom of Childhood passes [03:45.19]You archangels, you have some nerve [03:52.55]To watch all of this you are absurd [03:56.67]You even have a choice [04:02.66] [04:03.22]Do you know all? I think you may [04:09.65] [04:10.52]And what is there for you to say [04:14.76]But understand [04:16.13]Why God took back your voice [04:23.19]SIlence is golden, I believe [04:30.67]And you are worth your weight [04:33.61]In wreaths of purest gold [04:41.47]While we are here with debts and bets [04:49.09]And aircraft carriers and jets [04:53.14]I call out fruitlessly [04:56.08]Give me an archangel for company [05:02.71]Happiness is temporary [05:05.64]Believe me, I know [05:09.63]It can arrive as a shining crystal [05:12.82]And leave as the melting snow [05:17.18]Come all you lads and lasses [05:20.99]The Kingdom of Childhood passes [05:31.04] [05:31.98]Me in the woods at the break of dawn [05:39.33] [05:39.96]The candles of the night still on [05:43.77]The chimes ring from the hollow [05:50.57]I too am worth my weight in gold [05:58.06]But the fishmonger and I are old [06:01.80]When the mint runs out [06:03.68]Our real lives will follow [06:09.78]It was misfortune who woke you up [06:17.40]To pour you the dregs from her broken cup [06:22.71]Cast her aside [06:28.88]The sunrise will appear with the mockingbird [06:35.49]Who stays deep in the canyon and is heard [06:39.68]Glorious in his song [06:44.23]He cannot be wrong [06:50.23]Happiness is temporary [06:53.15]Believe me, I know [06:57.28]It can arrive as a shining crystal [07:00.15]And leave as the melting snow [07:04.83]Come all you lads and lasses [07:08.69]The Kingdom of Childhood passes [07:12.06]There's another one just beyond [07:15.68]Act quickly before it's gone [07:25.67] [07:37.58]? 1976, 1977 Gabriel Earl Music （ASCAP）
