Ellis Paul - Live In The Now lyrics

rate me

I've got a farm house,

It's a big white farmhouse

And forty acres in my head

You got a kitchen,

It's an oak floor kitchen

And a big brass feather bed

And there in the parlor,

An old upright piano

And a precocious blue-eyed kid

Playing the keys

Playing the keys

Live in the now

A room with a view of Cambridge

Live in the now

Traffic, noise, and neighborhood kids

We're sitting in the kitchen

You reach cross the table

And put a finger on my wrinkled brow

You say, "Live in the now,

Live in the now"

'Cause life is what happens

When you're busy making plans

That's what John Lennon said

Then he quit the phuckin' band

Tell me which part

Is it the castle, or the sand

That you miss when the tide comes along?

I'm alone on a highway

Only silos break the view

A field of sunflowers

A scarecrow paying dues

And I think to myself

"Man, that's not what I'd choose "

But here I am, and look where I've gone

All for the song

Till the tide comes along

Live in the now

An audience is waiting

Live in the now

Whose day are you creating?

I slip into to the hotel

I put the phone on a pillow

Your voice makes it better somehow

You say, "Live in the now"

"Live in the now"
