Catherine MacLellan Now and Then lyrics

You led me to the stairs, where you cut my hair
One little strand at a time in your hand
I wanted you to know all the things I could not show
To you now and then.

All the people in this town, they are just clowning around,
With a little bit of time and loving on their mind
I think of you these days when I don't know what to say
To them now and then

Read to me from the book of Paul
I can't say that I believe it all
I just want to hear your voice ringing out

Don't you want to know? I guess you really don't,
How I could have loved you and given what you won't.

You took my strength away, just a little everyday
I'm weaker now than then.

Read to me from the book of love.
I can't say that I'm worthy of it
I just want to hear you voice ringing out.

Is it truth or just a lie, I still want you in my life
I keep this secret hiding place like sharpening the knife
That I hold against my throat, the only true words that I spoke –
I still miss you now and then.
I still miss you now and then.
