about

"Wyner returns on mandolin and Chiarandini on fiddle for 'The Only Time Is Now,' yet another fine folk tune that I’m guessing features Rockwell on terrifically smooth lead vocals. There’s some wonderful interaction among 'all' the players between the lyrics, including some lovely keyboard moments."

lyrics

Little black boots
Their souls all mucked and brown
You used to wear them
When we hit the town
In a little black dress
We’d cry all night long
But now stuck inside
Nothing left but this a long slow song

Whiskey and coffee
Was all that it took
Stay up all night
Brain gets all shook
Now we're feelin wholesome
Cook a tasty meal
Drink a little wine
Then go back to bed a seal the deal

Fare thee well to virginia
Fare thee well to old time
I’m bound to vermont
To make that sweet girl mine
The sea is deep
And so is my love
More vast than the forest
Taller than the blue sky above

Fiddling in the morning
Banjo in the afternoon
I could waste my days away
Just to sing this little tune
Rain on the window pain
Blues in the sky
I would do any dern anything
Just to call her mine

Hear the wind howl
No need to ask when
The only time is now
