Ian Hunter Now Is The Time lyrics

I can smile on a warm summer day
I can laugh, I can listen to the children play
But I'm going to miss the killer with the kiss
He was a friend of mine

Now is the time, now is the time

It's going to rain, hope it don't rain on you
There's going to be a lot of pain before this thing is through
If Jesus was alive, He'd be standing on the M5
Holding up a neon sign screaming

Now is the time, now is the time

Now is the time, so many people can't see
They think that love is blind but it ain't free
There's a line, so many people have crossed and now

Their love is lost, say, "Goodbye", my funny valentine

Now is the time, now is the time
Now is the time, now is the time

I can run just as far as my eyes can see
And I'm free, yeah, just as free as I want to be
But I won't ever forget that crazy little planet
He was a friend of mine

Now is the time, now is the time
Now is the time, now is the time
Now is the time, now is the time
Now is the time
