Everything comes around
Cochrane Tom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a reason
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
And you might come to realize
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
