This lyric is just stunning. Just when you think Townes did it to you all he could.


Forever ain't easy to come by.
For always ain't never too sure
For certain is less than you hoped for
For someone it's hard to endure


Forsaken must sometimes befall us
For sorrow sometimes will call
Four seasons go round on a pinwheel
Tomorrow ain't no place at all


The first time that I come by lovin'
Forever was all on my mind
And I never got used to the hurtin'
Of searching for some lovin' kind


It seems like I'm still chasin' rainbows
It seems like I'm still on the run
Forever don't mean much in passin'
Forgotten don't mean that it's done


Forever, for always, for certain
For someone forsaken for sure
Or for any old plan you got workin'
For any old pain you can cure


Forever, for always, for certain
For someone forsaken for sure
For any old time that you're hurtin'
For all of the love in the world
