Now Lover

Peter Hammill

Composição de: Peter Hammill
In the here and now... 
Between sensation at the nerve-ends 
And arrival of information at the cortex 
Time elapses 
So, you see, each time we touch 
We did so in the past 
Now, lover, 
Slicing through time in a perfect curve 
Due for a moment of energy 
Somehow we'll get what we most deserve 
In the here and now 

In the here and now 
Although completely different people 
In the moments before and after having sex 
We are time-locked 
Cracked, forgotten statues, we are 
strangled in the undergrowth 
Lost in ancient magic, we are motion 
We are wonderful flow 
We are time-locked, 
Unknowing of the code, but addicted to the pulse 

Now, lover, 
Melt in the crucible, flesh and blood 
Bodies consumed by the catalyst, 
Somehow we'll raise our sights from the mud 
We are always now, 
We are Always Now! 

If we were always here and now 
Instead of slightly, now and then 
So immaterial, so lost, embracing all 
The grace that comes before the fall 

If we were always here and now 
Electric shiver in the spine 
How could we turn away, see life as grey and drab? 
How come we don't see what we have? 

If we were always here and now 
Soul to soul and skin to skin... 
Is it some kind of make-believe, 
Is it some kind of dream we're in 
With a mint copy of original sin? 

In the here and now... 
Between sensation at the nerve-ends 
And arrival of information at the cortex 
Time elapses 

Cracked, forgotten statues, we are 
strangled in the undergrowth, 
Lying on the mattress of the magic 
and the wonderful 
Nothing really matters as we're 
sucked in by the undertow... 
We are Motion, we are Feeling, we are Now! 

Although completely different people 
In the moments before and after having sex 
We are time-locked, we are time-locked, 
Though we know each time we touch 
We did so in the past 

Now come on, come on, lover 
Slicing through time in a perfect curve 
Due for a moment of energy 
Somehow we'll get what we most deserve... 
In the here and now 
Melt in the crucible flesh and blood 
Bodies consumed by the catalyst 
Surrender to nothing, welcome the flood 
of the here and now 
Slicing through time in a perfect curve 
Due for a moment of energy 
Somehow we'll get what we most deserve 
Melt in the crucible, flesh and blood 
Bodies, consumed by the catalyst 
Surrender to nothing, nip the thought in the bud 
We are always now, 
We are Always Now! 

If we were always here and now...
