That Was Then

OMD

I would lie awake and cry at night

But that was then and this is now

I had an anger that was strong enough

And I would face the things I run from now

And everything we did was wonderful

Now its practical and I don¡¯t know how

all the moves we made were done for love

Now its not enough it seems somehow

And all the feeling that I knew would last

Well they are gone where are they now

And you were beautiful and dangerous

And now you¡¯ve sacrificed some sacred cow

And I would listen to the things you said

They all made sense why don¡¯t they now

Not a penny in our pockets then

We never worried so why do we now



Standing tall against my destiny

Oh I had visions and I could see

I would walk a thousand miles for you

But that was the, that was then

And this ins now, this is now

Look at me now

This is now



Over decades things are changing me

I have no energy where am I now

Too many people seem in need of me

When I was younger I felt so free

Can you see the things I care about

They are not important now time has run out

And only memories are left with me

this shallow history becomes my destiny

I would lie awake and cry all night

That was then this is now

This is now
