Meanings Will Change - Noel Paul Stookey

作词：Hughes

作曲：Hughes

Meanings will change as you learn to grow

And all that is known becomes suddenly old

And that which you had to last you 'till the end

Turns out to be just a passing friend

And would you spend your life away

Collecting great treasures

So you'd be safe someday

And when you're old and when you're gray

Meanings will change life's just that way

When you're finally sure

You think you understand

All about living and life's demands

Someone will touch you and you'll see again

Meanings will change you just can't win

So don't you worry 'bout your money friend

Don't you worry 'bout your fame

It's all a conspiracy all part of a game

And you're the conspirator

The silent enemy

And you're the victim

You finally see

After you get to where you have to be

Then after you own everything you see

When meanings don't change

About the things you knew

You might as well die it's all over for you

If you're wise and if you know

What few things are real which never grow old

Then take them now and make you a start

With a simple life and a simple heart
