That Was Then

I would lie awake and cry at night That was then, 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 it's practical, and I don't know how All the moves we made were done for love Now it's not enough, it seems somehow And all the feelings 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 Oh, 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 then, that was then This is 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're not important now, time's 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 Oh, this is now
