going going gone

Passenger

It won't last forever
It's there and then it's gone
Burns out like fire would
Fades out like a song

And I have no answers darling
It's neither right or wrong
But when the hammer comes down
It is going going gone

It's the wheel of fortune
It's the luck of the draw
It's funny how the people with the most
Are the ones who are reaching out for more

There's no rhyme or reason darling
It's neither short or long
But when the hammer comes down
It is going going gone

Like sunshine on the ocean
You can't catch it in your hands if you try
Like waking from a dream that's fading
And the more that you chase it, the less you can taste it
'Til all you have's the echo of a song
For when the hammer comes down
It is going going going gone
