Every Now Is Past - Marlango

I save the letters that people send to you

As a picture of your outlines

A silhouette of your voice

I don’t know what you asked

But I keep all the answers

I don’t know what you said

But I have all the questions

Time goes so fast

Every now is past

Time goes so fast

Every now is past

Will someone try to wake me out

By what you sent to me

Will they burn my memory

Till it’s white dust

And keys that open nothing

And shoes that go nowhere

And wombs that had no babies

Are waiting up the stairs

Time goes so fast

Every now is past

Time goes so fast

Every now is past

The same stones, same bones

That had someone else before

Time goes so fast

Every now is past

Time goes so fast

Every now is past

Time goes so fast

Every now was
