NECESSARILY NOW
Necessarily now
I sing to the fog
that melts away the edges
softens and rounds off
and keeps the attacks far from me
yes, necessarily now
I sing to the fog
Necessarily now
I sing to the simple pictures
laundry drying in the sun
a man sees a butterfly
a pair on bikes
doves coming down to the city square
now to the pictures
to the simple pictures I sing
What will happen in a moment
what will happen tomorrow
Now I just keep to those dear to me
and do what I can
I no longer want to be correct
or a hero, or redundant
necessarily now
Necessarily now
I sing to the people
that gave me without making me ashamed
on hard days
when I was a run-over dog
when I fell to the boards
yes, necessarily now
I sing to the people
I sing to whoever is sad
to whoever remembers the magic
that makes kids laugh and hangs for them
the moon on the balcony
that turns dust into music
and makes the rain happen
to whoever is sad or remembers the magic
What will happen in a moment
what will happen tomorrow
Now I just keep to those dear to me
and do what I can
I no longer want to be correct
or a hero, or redundant
necessarily now
I sing
