Forever Your Love

Written by Daniel Johnston

LYRICS
Wish I see everywhere
The love that’s there is nowhere
Then I do declare
No matter what and forever
Where there is always no kind of love
And never was, no never
Then you might think you see a glory there
It’s shining there so frightening
Forever your love it turns
Your love it turns away
Your brother and your sister there
Have long since gone away
And I see the setting sun
Like an atom bomb forever
And all the dead people there
Who thought they were so clever
Forever it seems to have taken
What they feared had entertained them
And now they’ll see themselves
In the past as it came before them
Forever your love it turns
Your love it turns away
Your brother and your sister there
Have long since gone away
And now one last time
Do you believe in the faithless?
Do you think that maybe your heart
Could stop the hatred?
Do you think that love could save you now
When it’s past the hour of repentance?
Oh the tears that you shall cry
It’s over now, class dismissed
Forever your love it turns
Your love it turns away
Your brother and your sister there
Have long since gone away
