Now & Then Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

I think this time you've said enough to make me want to leave this place 

Still I keep coming back for more of the same to fan the dying flame 

Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day 

There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end 

Let us just pretend a while think about the good things now and then 

I think this time that was the best time that we two had ever known 

We tried the handle of the house upon the shore and found the open door 

Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dances on the floor 

We were only playing like two children who had stayed away from school 

Two of us could not be wrong, heaven knows who keeps the golden rule 

I think this time we've learned enough to know that nothing is the same 

But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed and leavin's so strange 

Here among my thoughts of you I find a gentle longing to be free 

There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
