I would lie awake and cry at night
  But that was then and this is now
  I had an anger that was strong enough
  And I would face the things I run from now
  And everything we did was wonderful
  Now its practical and I don´t know how
  all the moves we made were done for love
  Now its not enough it seems somehow
  And all the feeling that I knew would last
  Well they are gone where are they now
  And you were beautiful and dangerous
  And now you´ve sacrificed some sacred cow
  And I would listen to the things you said
  They all made sense why don´t they now
  Not a penny in our pockets then
  We never worried so why do we now
  
  Standing tall against my destiny
  Oh I had visions and I could see
  I would walk a thousand miles for you
  But that was the, that was then
  And this ins now, this is now
  Look at me now
  This is now
  
  Over decades things are changing me
  I have no energy where am I now
  Too many people seem in need of me
  When I was younger I felt so free
  Can you see the things I care about
  They are not important now time has run out
  And only memories are left with me
  this shallow history becomes my destiny
  I would lie awake and cry all night
  That was then this is now
  This is now
