Forever, for Always, for Certain

Guy Clark

Forever ain't easy to come by 
For always ain't never to sure 
For certain is less than you hoped for 
For someone it's hard to endure 
Foresaken must sometimes befall us 
For sorrow sometimes will call 
Four seasons go around on a pinwheel 
And tomorrow ain't nothin' at all 

The first time that I came by lovin' 
Forever was all on my mind 
And I never got used to the hurting 
Or the searchin' for some love in kind 
And it seems like I'm still chasing rainbows 
It seems like I'm still on the run 
Forever don't mean much in passing 
Forgotten don't mean that it's done 

Forever, for always, for certain' 
For someone forsaken for sure 
For any old plan you got workin' 
For any old pain you can cure 
Forever, for always, for certain
