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
