[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Slow Piano Chords, Organ Swell, Echo Guitar, Deep Bass Pulse]
[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
What is now…
(Becomes then)
Round and round…
(Again and again)
[Refrain]
This is…
(Turned was)
Because…
Time waits for no one
(Know one)
Then….
(It’s done)
[Verse 1]
Another second slips away
Turns tomorrow into yesterday
The very moment, bright and new
Soon becomes a distant view
What we hold begins to pass
Present turns to former glass
Try to stop it if you can
Time ignores the best of plans
[Pre-Chorus]
Here and now
(Watch it go)
Soon enough
(You will know)
[Chorus]
This is now
(Turned was)
Every cause
(Because)
What arrives
(Will depart)
What begins
(Is the start)
Time waits for no one
(Know one)
Then…
(It’s done)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Piano Arpeggios, Organ Sustain, Driving Bass, Steady Drums]
[Verse 2]
Photographs and memories
Echo former certainties
Places change and people too
What can stay the way it grew?
All the laughter, all the tears
Blend together through the years
Present tense becomes the past
Nothing made can last and last
[Bridge]
Tick and tock
(Never cease)
Piece by piece
(Piece by piece)
Watching now
(Become then)
Then becomes
(Once again)
[Final Chorus]
This is…
(Turned was)
Because…
Time waits for no one
(Know one)
Then…
(It’s done)
This is now…
(Wow! Turned was…)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Fading Piano, Organ Drone, Soft Guitar Harmonics, Slow Bass Pulse Dissolving into Silence]
Then…
(It’s done…)
Now…
(Turned was…)
