Lyrics

i still have words in mock of day
restlessness in mock of prey
i still have words i’d like to say
And it’s still so long fore I go away
Yea it’s still so long fore i’ll go away

I go out far I go too fast
I am a preacher of my past
I do not know where is my home
Even there I AM afraid to be alone
Even there im afraid ill feel alone

and that’s why i wanna be here now
i wanna be here now
no matter where i go
i‘ll always come back home

when i was young i’d look about
i could not (didn’t?) see far past my high mount-ain
i did not know the ways of old
though my grandmother tried to teach me so
oh my grandmother tried to teach me so

when she was small, she liked to read
jane austen and the other victorians
and in her time she never quite fit
though by now i think she sees the power in it
and by now i think she sees the power in that

and that’s why i wanna be here now
i wanna be here now
no matter where i go
i‘ll always come back home

has she grown old? she sometimes asks
i tell her that depends on how the she thinks time passes ……
time passes so fast for me these days

and that’s why i wanna be here now
i wanna be here now
no matter where i go
i‘ll always come back home
