Now and then
The world outside can be so loud
The soft sadness of seasons turned
Spilled shadows on the ground
Loneliness
Can be a royal 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
'Til summer came again
Darkness falls
I act as if I hardly care
Meanwhile, you're memories 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 will burn
Out of place
Whenever love is 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
