This Too Shall Pass
Justin Rutledge
When it's windy in the morning
And your cloudy all day
When the night arrives at last
It just won't go away
When you're eyes are sick with wonder
And your heart is in a cast
This too shall pass
When the city turns to limp
When you're waiting for a train
When she welcomes you with pity
In half an inch of rain
When you're playing at ten thirty
And if anyone should ask
This too shall pass
This western call
This too shall fall
These northern skies
These too shall rise
This way you feel
This too shall heal
This hour glass
This too shall pass
She loves me when I'm lazy
And she loves me when I'm wild
She loves me when I'm hazy
And she loves me when I'm a child
We figured out how to make a good thing last
But this too shall pass
This too shall pass
