Lyrics

Forever Changed

Train entering the city
I lost myself and never came back
Took a trip around the world, and never came back
Black silhouettes, crisscrossed tracks never came back

Forever changed
Forever changed

You might think I'm frivolous, uncaring and cold
You might think I'm empty - depends on your point of view
Society, Andy, who paints and records them
The high and the low, never turn back

Forever changed
Forever changed
Forever changed
Forever changed

Got to get to the city - get a job
Got to get some work to see me through
My old life's behind, I see you proceeding
My life's disappearing, disappearing from view

Hong kong - and I was changed
Burma, Thailand - and I was changed
A few good friends, to see me through
Henry and Brigid, to see me through
Only art to see me through
Only heart to see me through
My old life's disappearing - disappearing from view

Forever changed
Forever changed
I was forever changed
