Anne Clark - Now (Live From The Music Centrum,Netherlands/1987)

Sweat runs down the centre of my back Crawling like an insect - it makes a track Sweat runs down the nape of my neck Anticipation - the cause and the effect So catch each drop as I catch each breath 'Til there's no doubt, no indecision, 'til there's not one question left Walking streets alone amid a mass of strangers' faces Fill my time with thoughts of you and I in distant places Now I must have you! You breathe new life - it's all around It calls my name without a sound This distance cuts down deep inside Planes carve like knives across the sky I must be with you! This place never cares to see who goes or who remains I wait and watch the boats set sail, I linger and listen to the far off trains This land of mine drifts off alone, far out to sea With no direction, no intention, nothing left to offer me And I can't stay! It stand alone - back on the world And through it all it still seems to curl Itself around the people, binding tighter than a rope Gives nothing away for something, each day without hope It's no home for the luxury of love! The good life out of each on the placards Doesn't hide away the truth of the broken down facades The buildings burn, the streets on fire Every muscle, every nerve stretched to reach for somewhere higher Feel me now! Will you remain, place your trust Turn ideas into motions before mechanisms rust Will you hold me tight with arms, with words, in your comfort keep me warm I beg refuge in your shelter as I fly into the storm Take me! Take me now!
