You were chasing him

down Broadway

on that white hot July

'Cause he thought

he'd got a message

from some holy man

on high

He said his chance had

finally come he'd done it

on his own

He had to leave

his past behind the

first thing that had

to go was

Home

You put him

in an airplane

and packed your life

and clothes

You learned all the lessons

that the suitcase lady knows

He said Something still

drags me back from

where I'm heading to

You didn't really understand

'til the next thing

that had to go was

You

Some things are sacrificed

and some things remain

Some things bring pleasure

and some things bring pain

Some things must pass away

and some things are regained

When the whole world is changing

why should people stay the same

You saw his picture

in the paper that disarming

boyish smile

You sometimes had

to swallow hard as you saw

him on the dial

You heard him

on a talk show

he was hearing no one else

Then suddenly

you knew too well

the last thing

he'd left behind was

Himself

So you pulled yourself together

friends and family

said you should

You discovered

you were doing things

you never knew you could

And someday when

he calls you which

you know of course

he'll do

You'll just

send him away again

'cause the last thing you finally

Found was

You

Some things are sacrificed

and some things remain

Some things bring pleasure

and some things bring pain

Some things must pass away

and some things are regained

When the whole world is changing

why should people stay the same

Some things are sacrificed

and some things remain

Some things bring pleasure

and some things bring pain

Some things must pass away

and some things are regained

Some things are sacrificed

and some things remain

Some things bring pleasure

and some things bring pain

Some things must pass away

and some things are regained

Some things are sacrificed

and some things remain

Some things bring pleasure

and some things bring pain

Some things must pass away

and some things are regained
