I’m not wasting time

Depending on the conversation

Numbers you’ve got mine

And I make constant observations

Now and then, now and then

I am the open door

You’re that painted picture window

On the upper floor

The wonders of those left in limbo

Now and then, now and then

You’re lost in leaving

Love receiving

Fingers deft and light

The words you send me

How the bend me

Every time you write

Word came down like rain

Water rising in mid September

Floods will run again

Wash those scars that still remember

Now and then, now and then

You’re lost in leaving

Love receiving

Fingers deft and light

The words you send me

How the bend me

Every time you write

Passing simple days

Like sentries on some useless border

One will fade away

And one will live this new world order

Now and then, now and then

You’re lost in leaving

Love receiving

Fingers deft and light

The words you send me

How the bend me

Every time you write
