Where Are You Now

  1995

Everyone has dues in life to pay

A grim toll for the reaper man to find a better life

But like a fool I left you standing at the tollgates of the crossroads

And never even thought about it twice

 

Until now

I still hear you laughing in my dreams

I feel you reaching for me when I sleep

And I wonder

 

Where are you now

I still hear you laughing

Where are you now

In the hour of your passing

Where are you now

 

Memories like a novel in the corner of my mind

I pass their dusty cobwebbed covers and their broken binds

And like a fool I stand here drowning in a sea of my nostalgia

Thinking they’ll just fade away with time

 

Until now

I still feel your breath upon my cheek

My slumber brings you deep inside of me

And I wonder

 

Where are you now

I still hear you laughing

Where are you now

In the hour of your passing

Where are you now

     This is one of my favorite songs in the way it came together musically and lyrically. Whenyou read the lyrics it actually puts off a more cryptic vibe than it should. This is not about someone dying. It's about having dreams about them and making you wonder about them, missing them.
