All Good Things (Come to an End); Nelly Furtado

“All Good Things (Come to an End)” is a song written by singer Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, Danja and Chris Martin (Coldplay vocalist) for Furtado's third album, Loose. This album reached #1 in several european countries and in USA, and “All Good Things” was her first single that peaked #1 in Europe.

I found on thefreelibrary.com that the “Rapper Saukrates who replaces Timbaland performing on the tour with Nelly on 'Promiscuous', displayed his multi-talents on violin and percussion throughout the evening as well as providing a lilting harmony and a whistle on 'All Good Things'”. That makes me think that Timbaland was the whistler in the studio version.

Below lyrics, audio and original videoclip:

Honestly what will become of me
I don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is daily
We are what we don't see
We miss everything day dreaming

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I always stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

When the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a
day until the feeling went away
And the sky was falling and the clouds were dropping
and the the rain forgot how to bring salvation
And the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die
