Right Now

Marie said Don't try to write it down Just let your ears Get to know the sound Of the creaking door That leads underground To that place you face Everything you found And should you Serve hearts there On a dinner plate Perhaps you're unaware Of the beginners fate And if a single hair Is holding up a blade Over a priest who swears Your soul can be saved Th Then Marie Saiden just pray You can Lose or Find yourself Waiting for the dawn For the light to change Or life to go on I'll help you Count your dreams Just before they hatch Unless of course You're dreaming Of a perfect match Just like the homeless man At his own expense Who holds a sign that says To make love not sense If you lose the holy grail Or slay the holy cow You'll see eternity Can only be Right now She said, why keep score Why keep looking back Why keep such a close watch On those things you lack When that pain's not yours When this love's not mine When there's No such thing As a finish line If you lay Down your sword As a welcome mat Then your Open door Can become Just that
