NOW
Krokus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yellow moon light,
Silver shadow
Cover me over
with your light
And ease my sorrow
She gave me everything I needed Shelter in the pouring rain
Now I'd do anything to have her back again
(All through the night)
I keep fighting the heartache
Fighting for you
(All through the night)
I keep dreaming about you
Screaming without you

I said now
I can't wait any longer
now
While the passion's stronger
now
And I wanna please you
now
Need you here to free me
now

Taste of true love,
made of fool's love
Blinded by magic
from the start I gave you my heart
I don't wanna live for the future
I never gonna live in the past
I need your love right now
That's what I ask

(All trough the night)
I keep tossing and turning
Dream about you
(All through the night)
I keep dreaming about you
Screaming without you

I said
now
I can't wait any longer
now
While the passion's stronger
now
And I wanna please you
now
Need you here to free me
now

(All through the night)
I keep tossing and turning
Dream about you
(All through the night)
I keep dreaming about you
Screaming without you

I said now
I can't wait any longer
now
While the passion's stronger
now
And I wanna please you
now
Need you here to free me
now
I can't wait any longer
now
While the passion's stronger
now
And I wanna please you
now




Don't you know I need you
now

And ease my sorrow
She gave me everything I needed
Shelter in the pouring rain
Now I’d do anything
To have her back again

(Pre-Chorus)
All through the night
I keep fighting the heartache
Fighting for you
All through the night
I keep Dreaming about you
Screaming without you

Now while the passion’s stronger
Now and I wanna please you
Now I need you here to free me
Now

Taste of true love
Made of fools love

It’s all I ask

(Pre-Chorus)
All through the night
I keep tossin’ and turnin’
Dreaming ‘bout you
All through the night

Now while the passion’s stronger
Now and I wanna please you
Now did you hear the feeling
Now

All through the night
