Changes Upon Changes

Changes Upon Changes
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

In the many phases of the moon
In the turning of the tide
In the wind that whispers through the eaves
It comes and then subsides
Like a smoke dream
Like a vision
It is certain
Yet and then
It’s a shadow in the alleyway
That is there and gone again

In the lives and times of families
In a life that’s on the run
When your future plans seem set in stone
But they all become undone
There is only one thing constant
A change will always come
Like the sounding of the brass
Or the pounding of a drum

Changes upon changes
Different lovers
Different friends
Nothing’s ever always
Once it’s there it’s gone again
Changes upon changes
And the changes never end yeah
Don’t look back now
There’s another
Changin’ ‘round the bend

Yeah when I get out on that road of life
Flyin’ like the wind
An’ never know what’s comin’
Never know just who’s behind
Never know ‘bout the speed trap
Down that road
Just waitin’
Never see comin’ the things that change my mind
Driving headlong into the wonder of change

Change is inevitable
Change is inevitable

An’ I feel it now it’s comin’ on
I’m ready to explode
So I push the pedal to the floor
An’ sail on down the road
And I leave behind those troubled times
I’ll sing another song
An’ if that ol’ cop stops me
I’ll just smile an’ move along
Never see comin’ the things that change my mind
Divin’ headlong into the wonders of change

Changes upon changes
Different lovers
Different friends
Nothing’s ever always
Once it’s there it’s gone again
Changes upon changes
And the changes never end
Don’t look back now
There’s another
Changin’ ‘round the bend

Changes upon changes
Changes upon changes
Changes upon changes
And the changes never end

Changes upon changes
Changes upon changes
Changes upon changes
And the changes never end

Changes upon changes
Changes upon changes
Changes upon changes
And the changes never end
