Now and Never

Lyrics

Roses, take your cover— Wild beauty travels south; Truth will out but always speaks From both sides of her mouth She's a stone in water She's a rising bell— The invention of another I make no assumptions what she'll tell For now, the word is moving through, sliding in beside of you; You disappear –the both, you do: One into the other The jailer's singing down the halls his lonesome song of love; tapping like a miner with his keys on pipes above A lantern revolution We're bright without a line— but I make no assumptions now just what my light will find For now, the dark is moving through, sliding in beside of you; You disappear –the both, you do: One into the other The dead will close their bottle eyes of their own stubborn accord, escaping by the roof the darkest pleasures of the lord I pay my debt to mercy With all of it come my way— I make no assumptions now what more I'm due today For now, time is moving through, sliding in beside of you; You disappear –the both, you do: one into the other
