Army of Nows

tonight I am so free
 that my feet are in flower
 I could sow a garden for you
 but tonight you are so far away
 and I don't know what to do
 facing down this army of nows
 tonight I am so restless
 and the moon is coming down
 in a gown of eyelets of blue
 she says
 "worry not about the future
 you have plenty here to do
 lucky you! with an army of nows"
 come to carry you with them
 safely safely through the night
 carry you with them
 safely safely through the night
 warm over towns fields and roads
 you'll be warm
 under mongolian coats
 and don't you weep
 and don't you fear
 the approach of an army of nows
 don't you weep
 they're almost here
 the approach of an army of nows
 come to carry you with them
 safely safely through the night
 carry you with them
 safely safely through the night
 warm over towns fields and roads
 you'll be warm
 under mongolian coats
 can you hear the drums?
 can you hear the bells?
