Only Now

Friend of mine

Where's your heart reside?

You were one day here

The next day gone

Disappointing nights

Of coming under your fire

I bid you my farewell

Brother, hold your heart in tight

It is one day here

The next day gone

You can toil all your life

In the winning of fights

I know the fault too well

Mother, is this how we lie?

Alone in our frozen beds

I am only now

And a long way out

Don't you feel it now more than ever?

And what then?

For all that changes, nothing

In the stick of kin

In the blowing of the wind

Are last living feelings

On account of what's to feel
