What will stand up against
All the elements
What will face the raging hurricane
Will I sit once more
Beneath that old sycamore
Or will it wash away with the wind and rain
What will stay and what will go
Driving rain and winds that blow
Tear apart and let us know
Breaking down (holding on) and letting go
Letting go-o-o, hmmm
Letting go-o-o, hmmm
Now the cold bears down
On this long-forgotten town
And the snow covers everything in sight
In the early days of spring
Will the green come again
Or will the colors die in these frozen nights
What will stay and what will go
Frozen nights and blinding snow
Tear apart and let us know
Breaking down and letting go
All the rivers run dry
Not a cloud in the sky
And a summer that is lost in shades of brown
What will still grow on
With the waters gone
And what will slowly burn down
What will stay and what will go
Burning sun and dying slow
Tear apart and let us know
Breaking down and letting go
