The Mavericks - Things I Cannot Change Lyrics

Leaves fall in the cool October air
Days grow short and I can't remember
Where I saw you last
Turned against the summer light
Walking off on that final August night
I was there on my knees, all alone

In a world
Where nothing ever stays the same
I am left
With only things I cannot change
You've gone away
And left me things I cannot change

Smoke will rise
And the fire always burns
Sands will drift
And tides will turn and I can't
Wrestle with the sea
Rearrange the sky, or fight against the wind
Anymore than I
Can bring you back to me

In a world
Where nothing ever stays the same
I am left
With only things I cannot change
You've gone away
And left me things I cannot change
