Need To Know Now Lyrics from 'Outside The Pale'

Need To Know Now by Howard Moss (2013)

I see you sitting there hardly talking
Just staring onwards with years in your eyes
I see you sleeping but barely dreaming
What is going on behind those fearful cries

I need to know now, I need to know now I need to know before you go

I see you whisper but I can't hear you
I see those tears now that slowly fill your eyes
I want to hold you but I can't feel you
Then the tear drops to the floor and then it dries

I need to know now, I need to know now I need to know before you go

I see you falter as you stand up
I try to keep you up for a short while
Then to the window as you stare out
I see you try to hide the pain behind your smile

I need to know now, I need to know now I need to know before you go

I see you lie down and see you breathing
I hold your hand now if only for awhile
If only I could just let you hear me
I tell you how I felt but I've missed by half a mile

I need to know now, I need to know now I need to know before you go

The things you achieved in your lifetime
Is more than most could wish before they die
It's got so quiet you can hear a pin drop
All I hear is the sad sound of goodbye

I need to know now, I need to know now I need to know before you go

As you leave now on your final journey
Your world's so empty and cold I testify
I wish I'd said those words of meaning
Now I won't get another chance I wholly verify

I need to know now, I need to know now I need to know before you go

Howard Moss on LMFM Radio with Daire Nelson

Had a great day up in Drogheda on LMFM radio talking to Daire Nelson about the brand new album 'Outside The Pale' and growing up in Trim, Meath and what it was like. Two songs played from the album the title track and Need To Know Now. It's a great buzz doing live

radio as you never know totally what's going to be asked and also what's going to come out of your mouth! First thing to enter your head usually as it's all on a time limit. Enjoyed it and hope to be back at LMFM soon!
