Orphic Elegy - Always Only Ever

Tidy wit over drinks
With the attention you've caught
Looking at all the world
In smug afterthought

If I could, I would expose
The urgency somehow
If you would, I would implore you
Be here now

Hurry up and wait
Curse the time it takes to get there
Always early, always late
Running to nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere

Take my drinks elsewhere
They don't play my music in the bars
Send my wishes elsewhere
I don't have time to wait for stars

If I could, I would compose
Your spirit somehow
If you would, I would beg you
Be here now

Hurry up and wait
Curse the time it takes to get there
Always early, always late
Running to nowhere
Hurry up and wait
That's the way it's been
Always only ever
Forming time into fate
Chasing grace into never, never
Never

If I could, I would disclose
This wisdom somehow
If you would see it, I would show you
I'm here now
