Rust And Rain

Liner Notes

I spent some time a while back creating my family tree and what jumps out at you, more than anything else, is the way that time just rolls over you and you end up as a node in a tree.

You had loves, cares, worries, dream the whole enchilada but still, in the end, you are a node in a tree and time rolls right over you.

This song is a little bleak and I find it hard to expunge the bleakness as I get older. On the plus side getting older is better than the alternative, not getting any older, so I will comfort myself with that.

Lyrics

All that I am and all that I say
One of these days will be washed away
As if I had never been
Nothing left but the cardinal sin

The rust and the rain wears it all away
No matter how solid it seems in the day
And nothing will matter, cos nothing ever did
We all end up as a dead end kid

Chorus

Tossed by the rust and the rain
Why doesn’t everything just stay the same
Why do I have to change?
The passing of time just seems so strange (2)

All that I am
All that I say
All that I am
All that I say

No illusions about what’s in store
I was nothing forever and I’ll be nothing once more
The lifespan of man is just a blink of the eye
We’re born, we live, we cry, we die

The rust and the rain wears it all away
No matter how solid it may seem in the day
And nothing will matter, cos nothing ever did
We all end up as a heartbreak kid

Chorus

Tossed by the rust and the rain
Why doesn’t everything just stay the same
Why do I have to change?
The passing of time just seems so strange (2)
