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 I'm 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 see far past my high mountain

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
