Now Is All There Is

Now is All There Is

Grey fog hangs along the bay,
Like the ghost of yesterday
As we duck into a waterfront hotel
Pint of Evan Williams in your purse
Stolen passion is the sweetest curse
My heart’s pounding as I tap the counter bell

Then the night clerk’s lifeless eyes
Tell me someday I’ll regret your kiss
But someday’s beyond my view,
Cos, Baby, when I’m with you
Now is all there is

Dusty rubber tree beside the wall,
Threadbare carpet down the dingy hall
And you whisper as I fumble for the key
Far above judgemental streets,
We make love in secret sheets
Cos this tiny room has somehow set us free

Then the old maid’s tired eyes
Tell me someday I’ll regret your kiss
But someday’s beyond my view,
Cos, Baby, when I’m with you
Now is all there is
Now is al there is

Gasoline and fire
Myst’ry, danger and desire
Toss a match and light it
So our dreams can be ignited

Then the cabbie’s lonely eyes
Tell me someday I’ll regret your kiss
But someday’s beyond my view,
Cos, Baby, when I’m with you
Now is all there is

Grey fog hangs along the bay,
Like the ghost of yesterday
But now is all there is
Now is all there is…
