Midnight clothesline, Siglufjordur, Iceland
 

Now & Always

I have known time, son
Known it two ways
One kind is passing
The other kind stays
Time is a straight line
Counted by days
Time is a circle
Now and always

The weather is changing
Something's amiss
It seems Mother Nature
Is angry with us
I worry a lot now
As I grow old
The summer's too hot now
Winter's too cold

A storm it is coming
Coming tonight
The windows are boarded
The boats are tied tight
A storm it is building
Out over the sea
I'll look after you, son
Look after me

The light it is dying
The waters they rise
Time after time, son
Mortality cries
I think of you living
Long after me
Now and forever
Days I won't see

I have known time, son
Known it both ways
One kind is passing
The other kind stays
Life is a straight line
The sum of our days
Love is forever
Now and always
