about

This dedicated to Levon Helm (1940-2012)--because I wanted him to know where his spirit is now that we dug him a lot and still do and always will.

By now I know
by now I know

I see it getting later
and feel how time is shorter
by now I know,
I have learned
how tables turn
Began to see things differently once I got older
and time came over time and tapped me on my shoulder
now I know

All night long
Feeling how I’m
holding love beside me
all night long
To know my name
--and know my heart

I won’t give up, not a moment
Don’t have the will to make another postponement
by now I know

The way it goes is how it goes
clouds may cast their shadows on the ground in passing
but up above the clouds there is a light more lasting
by now I know

To be on,
my own
knew it couldn’t be that way forever
now I can rely on
the way I sense that you were
always with me,

Oh, now
while I
can still recall the way
And all the many reasons
that I have
always been a lucky man
--so lucky now
to understand
. . .The road that picks us up
and takes us home
before it used to scare me
but I’m lately feeling ready to go
the lonely nights
the sad refrain
don’t have to ever come again
by now I know

All night long
Knowing how I’m
holding love inside me
all night long
Now I know
. . .I know
. . .I know
. . .I know
