Текст песни Now and Never - Joe Henry

Roses, take your cover
Wild beauty travels south
Truth will out but always speaks
From both sides of her mouth.
She's a stone in water,
She's a rising bell
The invention of another,
I make no assumptions what she'll tell

For now, the word is moving through, sliding in beside of you
You disappear - the both, you do:
One into the other

The jailer's singing down the halls his lonesome song of love
Tapping like a miner with his keys on pipes above.
A lantern revolution,
We're bright without a line
But I make no assumptions now just what my light will find

For now, the dark is moving through, sliding in beside of you
You disappear -the both, you do:
One into the other

The dead will close their bottle eyes of their own stubborn accord,
Escaping by the roof the darkest pleasures of the lord
I pay my debt to mercy
With all of it come my way
I make no assumptions now what more I'm due today

For now, time is moving through, sliding in beside of you
You disappear -the both, you do: one into the other
