Language Without a Past Tense Songtext
von Paul Damian Hogan

When I arrived I could not say from where I came
I can only say from where I come, yesterday

The bus is fifty cents and only goes in one direction
I ask the driver what′s on the way, the one way

This is the greenest green I see
And this is near where he lives before
Was the past tense more important then

The bus drives ahead and drops me off in the middle of town
The streets are lined with shop after shop, after shop


While people have discovered and discover this place
Seventy years have passed since he stood here, or stood there

This is the bluest blue I see
And this is near where he lives before
Was the past tense more important then

Navigation is tricky if you don't know where you′ve been
Easier to go back, repeat it again, and again

Navigation is trickier if you don't know where you're going
Easier to go back, repeat it again, and again

This is the reddest red I see
And this is near where he lives before
Was the past tense more important then
