Now and then

Now and then

The world outside can be so loud

The soft sadness of seasons turned

Spills shadows on the ground

Loneliness

Can be a loyal companion

A cool, familiar phantom

To follow you around

Now I know

For love, I would forget myself

For light upon the water

Water in the light

If this feeling goes

Won't somebody tell me when?

For I can't help but run from love

Now and then

Oh, my friend

I was barely human when

You kept me warm and took me in

Till summer came again

Darkness falls

I act as if I hardly care

Meanwhile, your memory's everywhere

So how can I pretend?

Happiness

Comes only when your back is turned

The more you look it in the eyes

The sooner it'll burn

Out of place

Whenever love has flown away

You're gone, and I'm an owl by day

Still dreaming of the moon

And the storm goes on

Far too strong, far too strong

I forget myself

Now and then

And the storm goes on

Far too strong, far too strong

I forget myself

Now and then
