I'm Here Now

You've gone from perfect to divine

Gone from perfect to divine

Time heals

And time forgets

Your pots pans shoes all your garbage

And your photographs

Had been thrown into the street

And I stood back in shock

Cause now your shit it looked

Lost without you

I broke a window busted your steering lock

And I cleared out of town

Without you



I said that time heals

And time forgets

But time arrived at motel ceiling fans

That just hang there above

Your empty head

After the rent is paid

And your heart's gone dead

Your friends are gone

You have a hunted face

Outside in the heaving fields

Are draped as heavy as lead

Where the dead wood aches

For reprieved from a fate

That seems so fleeting at a distance

Until that distance is tamed

Time does not heal

And it doesn't forget

It just drowns you when you're thirsty and you're lame

You kneel to drink the water

And the water is flame



Time heals

And time forgets

It's doing fine without you

Your radiator still overheats

But now your starter motor

Just refuses to turn

I tell you nothing's really changed

But I am not the same

And you take

Up all my time

You take

Up all my time

You've gone from perfect to divine

You've gone from perfect to divine



I never understood

Although you tried

Tried to explain

While you were alive

What had turned the face I'd loved

Into a stranger's

I'm staring up into

A perfect night

Everything is so wrong

But the time is right

And for the first time now

I'm looking right at you

I am here now

And it does not have a name

You kneel to drink the water

And the water is flame
