Then and now

I've got an address in my pocket
It feels so far away
I want to write you a letter
I know what I feel but not what to say
They said your daddy's gone
Forever

Your mammas got the Jesus in her eyes
I tell you boy it's a faith like that
That can make those mountains fly
Politics in 66
Served black and white that wouldn't mix
With sex and sin and nude and paisley flowers
Then and now I think of times
I nearly almost lost my mind
Under the influence of ancient powers
And I'd say
Where's the window
Where's the door
Where is the other side
Where does my freedom lie
Politics in 66

They blew the line and made them fix
They drowned out the feeling likt the power
Now that I see for tomorrow what will bring
I say

Where's the window
Where's the door
Where is the other side
Where does freedom lie
They said love is a long lost power
But now I feel that it's gone away
