That Was Then Letra

I found a stray dog on the highway She's lying by the stairs Keeping one eye on the door Like she's picturing someone who's not there On the right kind of summer night In the right kind of mood When the heat's thick as honey And the crickets sing in and out of tune I can see you so clearly Coming over Shadow Hill I see your hand brush through your hair I can feel you like a chill (Chorus) But that was then and this is now That was then and this is now Just one of those mysteies of life You don't know why, you don't know how Like a river running dry Like an old forsaken town Once I looked at you through starry eyes But that was then, and this is now (Bridge) Well, maybe angels hover 'cause Someone's watching over me now Home is a safe place to be Another life Another destiny But in the right kind of twilight When sundown brings a chill And the mist starts to rise Up on top of Shadow Hill I can still hear you breathing And I tremble at the sound So afraid I'll blow away And be swallowed by the ground Chorus But that was then and this is now That was then and this is now Just one of those mysteries of life You don't know why, you don't know how Like a river running dry Like an old forsaken town Once I looked at you through starry eyes But that was then and this is now Like a book of ancient history That was then and this is me
