Never Is the Time
[Formerly ‘Always Has Always,’ ‘From Nothing to Nowhere’ but… Pinback has a song from 2007 with same title]
It’s a long time from nothing to nowhere
but baby i been everywhere in between
I’ve thrown down with paupers and and with princes
I’ve slummed with the sad-eyed surly queen
Always has always escaped me
still you can’t break a promise you never made
but i no longer can evade the hard truth
there is something hard that I have got to say
I never thought that I would hear myself say
the things I thought I knew could not come true
I guess that I was just taking the long way
to get to where I say that I love you
Never is the time when I’ll be able
to settle my restless aching gypsy soul
but I did not want to wander off the world’s edge
unforgiven for the biggest lie I’ve told
