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
