Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
Watching that clock till you return
And lighting that torch and watching it burn
Now it begins, day after day
This is my life ticking away
Waiting to hear footsteps that say:
Love will appear and this time will stay
Each time you go
I try to pretend
It's over at last
This time the big hurt will end
Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
So if you don't come back again
I wonder when, oh when will it end?
The big hurt (repeat)
Nick performed this for the Italian film Mojo, along with Gallon Drunk and it is available on a cd called Soho. Now it begins, now that you're gone Needles and pins, twilight till dawn Watching that clock till you return And lighting that torch and watching it burn Now it begins, day after day This is my life ticking away Waiting to hear footsteps that say: Love will appear and this time will stay Each time you go I try to pretend It's over at last This time the big hurt will end Now it begins, now that you're gone Needles and pins, twilight till dawn So if you don't come back again I wonder when, oh when will it end? The big hurt (repeat) Explain Request ×
