John Calvin Abney - Every Now and Then Lyrics

Every Now and Then
Every city has it's own sound,
that beats against your engine's moan
and skyline's all you see behind you,
if there was something else, you wouldn't know.

Push the hair out of your face,
empty the lonely from your head,
maybe the best of worst intentions,
should tell you to quit while you're ahead.

To turn a heart of gold out of lead,
polish it up just to let it weigh you down instead.
but it won't stop me from trying,
every now and then.

The glow of memory is forgiving,
far more than what we were shown,
and dear, our dead end days are ending,
and love is not a lien or a loan.

I've been searching for a north star,
away from cloudy southern skies,
Pacific, palms up, I surrender,
but I've always been one for second tries.

To turn a heart of gold out of lead,
polish it up just to let it weigh you down instead.
but it won't stop me from trying,
every now and then.

To turn a heart of gold out of lead,
polish it up just to let it weigh you down instead.
but it won't stop me from trying,
every now and then.

But it won't stop me from trying,
every now and then.
