Now & Then – Joy Opposites

I’ve lost the feeling again
It’s not a joke that I get these days
I don’t know where it all went or when I’ll ever get it back
This is now that was then
Can we ever expect the same？
I don’t know where it all went or when I’ll ever get it back

Passing all the people who never looked and never even knew
It’s alright cos there’s another when they need it and another
they can fall into
Backing all the bright and new, never thought about the how and who
It’s alright, it’s just a cover when they need it, it’s a miracle
they’re clinging to

Stain to silver when the thoughts arrive
Turns to dust between the eyes

And I could never paint a love song
Got to set this out before I lose the colour, the memory of what I
looked for
That can save me, that can help me out this time

Trickling down between the lines, feeling it cut into the spine
Think of another day so fine, I think of you““““““`

All I can see is the roots, and I don’t know where they’re from
Don’t know where they’re going to and that’s for sure
No-one believes in the truth cos it’s darker where they’re from
But it’s brighter where we’re going to and that’s for sure
