[Verse]
Blind faith may come to you by and by
Some hope you’re clinging to by and by
You’ll want me to believe it too by and by
Me? I’ll keep my powder dry
[Verse]
Everyone is passing through wave good-bye
I know you have a point of view I won’t deny it
Tell me there’s some rendezvous when we die
Me? I’ll keep my powder dry
[Chorus]
No one ever knows the answers
I don’t believe they ever will
Everybody takes their chances
Everything is fine until
By and by
By and by
[Verse]
Everything will fade away by and by
Tomorrow into yesterday by and by
Everything gets thrown away by and by
Hey! Nothing’s ever here to stay
[Bridge]
Tell you what!
You can save your breath
I don’t need to hear your shibboleths
I’ll get by
[Verse]
You and I may disagree by and by
My doubt, your certainty testify!
Maybe you’ll get through to me by and by
We’ll just have to wait and see
[Chorus]
No one ever knows the answers
I don’t believe they ever will
Everybody takes their chances
Everything is fine until
By and by
By and by
I like this song very much. It made me think of these words written by Vasily Rozanov: "... private life is above everything else... Just sitting at home, and even picking your nose, and looking at the sunset... this is more universal than religion... All religions will pass, but this will remain: simply sitting in a chair and looking into the distance."
