Come To Life Lyrics - Singles - Paul Kantner

Robert Hunter 

Everything 

Everything has come to life again 

No one doubted but the ice got thin 

What came too soon was so hard to keep 

So full a harvest it was hard to reap 

There were days 

Seemed just like the walls would crumble 

Shoot from the hip and pray for trouble 

Stone-cold sober and seeing double 

How that midnight band could ramble 

Taking mansions and leaving shambles 

Remember other times and places 

Last night's dance 

The glowing faces 

All the lights the shadows in the hall 

Seeking higher peaks from which to fall 

Remember we were telling you 

that time would stop and nations fall 

Now we find the lies come true 

Can you tell me, tell me, tell me 

What are we to do? 

Because the good old days 

Those good old days are all dead and gone 

Good-bye and bless them all, every one 

What was true has passed the test 

Just as well forget the rest 

Half of what you saw was not yours to know 

Let it go
