Nevernever

There are three of you, and I wonder now For which do I fight, for which is my row (ra-ow) For the past, where I lived so happy so free I craved only moment, I gave all present me I let it all bleed out moment at that time I belayed all future, gave in to temp'ry mime For present which really is my past That soft dream I cradle fast That friend I hold dearly rapt Might not be my future, so precious wrapt In my present see I future, perfect Beautiful dream now here, flawless, democrat, elect You here now are all for which I wish Yet I cannot collapse, savor perfect dish I dream of past, which was not sweet, sanguine I live in present, easy, sublime I hold out arms for future, believed, aligned M which now passed, Mila gone into forever R here in present, promising new life's lever A for years fake future, sweet promise, alone never-never You all call to me and I swivel my gaze I know not which now I adhere to, my palais* *palais - pronounced pa-laze, french, palace
