Lyrics

If you fall
Climb up that old stone wall
Don't let me down this time
Find me when you can
Cos I'll be waiting there
For you at the end of time
Go, go, go

Ah, think it over
Give, give, give
Ah, turn it over
Maybe I'm a jewel
Maybe I'm a fool

Chorus:
How long must I mourn you?
What more can I do?
How long must I mourn you?

I'll find you where I can
This heat will never die
The dazzle of those days
Baked in the heart

Ah, think it over
Give, give, give
Ah, turn it over
Maybe I'm a jewel
Maybe I'm a fool

Chorus

Refrain:
Help
We all need help whoever we are

Climb up that old stone wall
Don't let me down this time

Chorus

Refrain

Trivia

- The structure of Now Ask is based on Saskatchewan backwards! 

Commentary

"Reportedly based on Saskatchewan backwards, Now Ask is a melancholy remembrance of days gone by, a requiem to a love that flourished in some halcyon time of youth and now hovers just outside one's peripheral vision, tormenting, a ceaseless reminder of better days now long gone by.  Even most Red Box fans seem to shun this track (if they remember it at all), which is a pity as there's certainly some subtle charm in evidence for those few patient enough to give it a proper chance."
-- Andrew Lenahan
