Now And The Evermore - Colin Hay

Woke up Sunday morning

Salvation army at my door

Playing Onward Christian Soldiers

'Til I couldn’t take it any more

I ran across the graves at night

With those three witches at my tail

I heard the wail of the now and the evermore

All things are never equal

And I don’t know who’s keeping score

Nobody gets a sequel, no

Everyone gets shown the door

I’ll be counting on the rising sun

To give me all my waking days

Until it sets up on the now and the evermore

Goodbye to the life we knew

Don’t save it 'til the end

It could be me it could be you or some old long lost friend

And if I’m calling out your name

I know if you can hear me you will come

You can leave a note or light a flame

Sing a song or even bang a drum

I saw The Lady Catrina

She was all a jingling at the bar

Playing an Italian concertina

You know she’s really quite the star

She told me everything’s a circle dance

And we had been here many times before

And we’re all a part of the now and the evermore

Goodbye to the waterside and down that shady lane

In case you’re lost and wandering

It does not look the same

Goodbye to the life we knew

Some roads you just can’t bend

It’s made me one with everything before I reach the end
