Lyrics

DIDN’T LAST LONG DID IT?
©Ruby Bird, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

A few seconds ago that sky was red
Now the dark is settling in
Oh didn’t last long, did it?

Sweet birdsong it fills the sky
Then a yellow feather fly
Oh didn’t last long

A few months ago the market was high
Now it’s on an endless slide
Oh didn’t last long, did it?

Now dollar, euro, yen and pound
Make the world go round and round
Said that war wouldn’t last long
Oh but they was wrong

Blue butterfly lights on a rose
And the summer comes and goes
Oh didn’t last long, did it?

Your baby child as sweet as can be
Turn around he’s 23.
Oh didn’t last long, did it?

Once upon a time you’re a gleam in your daddy’s eye
Now the dark is settling in
Oh didn’t last long, didn’t last long, didn’t last long,
Did it?
