All things must pass

As we head into a bleak winter with restrictions on our social contacts and all kinds of activities, with troubling consequences for many people's mental health and wellbeing, the saying 'All Things Must Pass' seemed particularly apt. The original quote came from the bible I believe, but a more contemporary reference is when George Harrison, of Beatle fame, used the phrase for the title of his successful 1970 triple album.

“All Things Must Pass”
Sunrise doesn’t last all morning
A cloudburst doesn’t last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It’s not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn’t last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It’s not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life’s strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It’s not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away
