What’s Temporary

What’s Temporary

 

 

Over what’s temporary I obsess.
Oh, who can stand the stuff that’s permanent?
To every fleeting moment I say yes.
Over what’s temporary I obsess.
Eternal verities are just a mess.
Why should they win my unrestrained assent?
Over what’s temporary I obsess.
Oh, who can stand the stuff that’s permanent?
