These are the first song lyrics that I'd ever written. I hadn't learnt an instrument at the time. I titled it 'Everyday Song' and put down the verses but never a chorus. When I began playing guitar about 10 years later, I found the lyrics in an old notebook and the chorus was born quite quickly. 'Everyday Song' became a real song.
Everybody needs an Everyday Song
To get you through the everyday throng
Of birth and death and in-between
For most of us the average scene
*
Chorus:
Well, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away
Yeah, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away
*
Everyday I build a karmic bridge
With links to people all-around
Good or evil I forge a trail
That I have to walk along
*
It's not unusual at the end of the day
To feel spent and needy in some way
Feeling passed along on the conveyor belt
Of human trouble and pained self-doubt
*
Chorus:
Well, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away
Yeah, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away
Yeah, everyone goes away someday
*
Can't blame others when you've lost the glow
The way you play or treat your soul
Toil and tumble and fall in-line
Losing track of what's divine
*
Chorus:
Well, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away
Yeah, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away
Yeah, everyone goes away someday
Everyone goes away Someday
Everyone, Everyone, Someday
Everyone, Everyone, Someday
Everyone, Everyone, Someday
