Everything comes around
Cochrane Tom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it sounds like this
Everything has it's season
Let's bless it with a kiss
I'll be there for you
I'll be your rainy day man
Every time the devil laughs out loud
When we make our big plans
What you haven't missed yet
With everyone searching
For fortune and fame
It's been right in front of you
All of the time
Everything comes round and round
What goes up must soon come down
Just remember this my friend
The next time that it looks like rain
I heard a rumbling
It was a frightening sound
We thought the world was crumbling
It was just our wheels spinning around
You might see more action
Born in another age
You'll get more satisfaction
If you don't expect it that way
You might come to realize
What you haven't missed yet
With everyone searching
For fortune and fame
Well, it's been right in your face
All of the time
Everything comes round and round
What goes up must soon come down
Just remember this my friend
The next time that it looks like rain
Everything comes round and round
What goes up must soon come down
Just remember this my friend
The next time that it looks like rain
I look down the street
And I see the young matadors
The debutantes from Richmond
Decked out in their fine clothes
It's bred in the bone
A tireless search
The junkyard keeps whispering
"Who'll get there first"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everything comes round and round
What goes up must soon come down
Just remember this my friend
The next time that it looks like rain
Everything comes round and round
What goes up must soon come down
Just remember this my friend
The next time that it looks like rain
The next time that it looks like rain
The next time that it looks like rain, ah yeah
Everything comes round and round (goes round and round)
What goes up must soon come down (ah, hey, yeah, yeah)
Just remember this my friend
The next time that it looks like rain
Everything comes round and round
What goes up must soon come down
Just remember this my friend
The next time that it looks like rain
The next time that it looks like rain
The next time that it looks like rain

He notes "with everyone searching for fortune and fame/ It's been right in front of you all of the time" and encourages the listener to appreciate what they have. Even when things seem bad, Tom suggests that it's important to remember that everything comes around eventually. He sings "Everything comes round and round/ What goes up must soon come down/ Just remember this my friend/ The next time that it looks like rain."
Towards the end of the song, Tom observes the people around him, including the young matadors and debutantes.

The voice of failure is constant
"Who'll get there first"
"Who will succeed?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
An exclamation of enthusiasm
Everything comes round and round (goes round and round)
Things repeat themselves
What goes up must soon come down (ah, hey, yeah, yeah)
Success is temporary
The next time that it looks like rain
When things seem difficult
