Now if I had the courage
I'd pour into your jar
All the things that I have heard 
you whisper in the dark

And when that jar was heavy
with your honeyed confidence
I'd put it to my lips and drink
its meaning and its sense
Its meaning and its sense

[Chorus]
   E   G  A   F  E     G    A 
It has no end so let's pretend 
C    H  G F#     
it's now
D A F#            H G F#
Let's get started now
D A F#            A
Let's get started now
Oh now
Oh oh oh ooh now
Oh now

D A F#
Well nothing could be plainer
than the things that have been done
And there can be no mystery
in what is yet to come

It's now that howls at nothing, 
It's now that runs and hides
It's now that winds its spineless coils
and slithers out of sight

Your cries above the furrow 
draw my fingers like a plow
Through tattered ends that twist and bend
about the here and now

The here is blind and helpless
and strives against the dark
The now's a well of shadows 
where the world has come apart
The world has come apart

[Chorus]

Well there is precious little
that escapes the powers that be
The eyes that judge, the words that form 
our meager histories

But when your flood surrounds me,
when the waters burst and come
Who knows the things that I have felt,
who knows what I have done

And if I had the courage 
I'd pour into your jar
All the things that I have heard
you whisper in the dark

And when that jar was heavy
with your honeyed confidence
I'd put it to my lips and drink
its meaning and its sense
Its meaning and its sense

[Chorus]
