I would lie awake and cry at night
|
But that was then and this is now
|
I had an anger that was strong enough
|
And I would face the things I run from now
|
And everything we did was wonderful
|
Now its practical and I don¡¯t know how
|
all the moves we made were done for love
|
Now its not enough it seems somehow
|
And all the feeling that I knew would last
|
Well they are gone where are they now
|
And you were beautiful and dangerous
|
And now you¡¯ve sacrificed some sacred cow
|
And I would listen to the things you said
|
They all made sense why don¡¯t they now
|
Not a penny in our pockets then
|
We never worried so why do we now
|
|
Standing tall against my destiny
|
Oh I had visions and I could see
|
I would walk a thousand miles for you
|
But that was the, that was then
|
And this ins now, this is now
|
Look at me now
|
This is now
|
|
Over decades things are changing me
|
I have no energy where am I now
|
Too many people seem in need of me
|
When I was younger I felt so free
|
Can you see the things I care about
|
They are not important now time has run out
|
And only memories are left with me
|
this shallow history becomes my destiny
|
I would lie awake and cry all night
|
That was then this is now
|
This is now
|
|
-----------------
|
THAT WAS THEN
