Why Would I Now?

Have I ever lost your way? Have I ever left you waylaid? Have I ever come unstayed? Why would I now? There were times I loathed your name There were times I laid on the blame There were times I brought on shame But why would I now? For I will never be your familiar soul And I will never see your imperial hold But have I ever stood back And watched you fall? Or ditched your call? Or caught you bent around? Why would I now? Have I ever steered you wrong? Have I ever strung you along? Have I ever kept you long? Why would I now? There were times I broke through the walls There were times I broke through it all There were times it felt so hard But why would I now? For I will never be your familiar soul And I will never see your imperial hold But have I ever stood back And watched you fall? Or ditched your call? Or caught you bent around? Why would I now? Though the years they may up-raid you How it all nearly unmade you, laying down Why would it now? Remember when it all went dark Remember went it first rent apart Remember how I held my mark So why wouldn't I now? For I will never be your familiar soul And I will never see your imperial hold But have I ever stood back And watched you fall? Or ditched your call? Or caught you bent around? Why would I now?
