Now And Then
Gordon Lightfoot I think this time you've said enough to make me want to leave this place Still I keep coming back for more of the same to fan the dying flame Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day Let us just pretend a while Think about the good things now and then There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end We tried the handle of the house upon the shore and found the open door I think this time that was the best time that we two had ever known Two of us could not be wrong Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dances on the floor We were only playing like two children who had stayed away from school Heaven knows who keeps the golden rule But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed and leavin's so I think this time we've learned enough to know that nothing is the same strange There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end Here among my thoughts of you I find a gentle longing to be free Think about the good things now and then Take away the inLet us just pretend a while We will see the day when you or I will stay or face up to the end And think about the good things now and then |
