D A Bm G x 2
D A G / D A Bm G / D A G
when I think/thought of what we had, I want/tried to turn and go right back
take the hand that marks/marked the hours and make the time turn round somehow
but oh no, it’s only ever now x 3
love is fragile love is rare, as hard to hold/catch as moving air
if only history would allow the time to breathe my love out loud
but oh no, it’s only ever now x 3
oh no it’s only ever now
the past just slips away and runs aground
in memory i try/tried to play with time but it’s/ it was just the run around
oh no, it’s only ever now
Time is a drip feed,
From somewhere in the sparkling/ sparking night I heard a whisper in my mind, Felt the movement of the stars in circles through the flow of time, and knew it’s always ever now
sometimes unspoken in despair
and it’s only ever now
I forgot it was there
let her know /re-avow
looking back to play with time is just the run around
Once she was here, but it’s only ever now
Once I had dreams, but it’s only ever now
I used to move, but I’ve forgotten how
There was then, and there is now
There was her and me, now there’s me bowed down
There was clear sky, now there’s cloud???
There was spring growth, now there’s charred ground
There was verbs, now there’s heavy nouns
There was music, now there’s dull thudding sounds
