Everything You Love Will Be Carried Away Lyrics & Chords By Rough Shop

You know I saw that man last night, he got an Oscar on TV
Now there's a fella who's seen everything there is to see
You couldn't understand a word he said but his point was clear as day
Don't you know that everything you love will be carried away
Everybody loves that hippie boy who danced in Galilee
But they keep stealing all his stories, keep him tied up to that tree
I've seen him on the wine dark sea and down in the cold red clay
Saying don't you know that everything you love will be carried away
Took me back to Virginia 1983
Cruising the Blue Ridge Parkway filled with beer and ecstasy
There's nothing sweet as being young in the middle of the month of May
Knowing that everything you love will be carried away
There are trippers and askers and jugglers and thieves
They stand side by side with saints and saviors, every town and every street
You know justice is a needle and the law is a stack of hay
And don't you know that everything you love will be carried away
Maybe one day we'll overcome and the trumpet of the lord will blow
But I reckon our emotions are still gonna overflow
And there'll be a kid with a guitar and he'll raise his voice and say
Don't you know that everything you love will be carried away
