Peter Wolf (PW) and Neko Case (NC) PW Now is the time, while the soft wind is blowing Now is the time, with the trees full of song Now is the time, while the wild world is turning Lie down together in the green fields of summer Hoping winter never comes NC Hold me right now with life all around us Hold me right now in the heat of the day Hold me right now this is our time together And the green fields of summer will be ours forever Hoping winter never comes
PW Please hold me close beside you Your eyes hold all the sky NC Hold sweet creation This day will never die Both Will never die NC This is the time I will always remember This is the time I will feel 'til I go PW This is the time I will carry down with me When I'm lost and forgotten In the cold fields of winter when summer never comes Both When I'm lost and forgotten In the cold fields of winter when summer never comes
