[Verse 1]
Stone shapes and me
I'll stay now

[Chorus]
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye

[Verse 2]
A female son
But I won't change again
One of these days
I'll love it all and sleep
You are slow poison, young friend
Just give me time to reply

[Chorus]
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye

[Verse 3]
What am I saying?
There's nothing left to steal
One of these days
Stone shapes and me
I'll stay now
You are slow poison, young friend
Just give me time to reply

[Chorus]
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
Nothing's forever
