In Another Time
In another time and another place,
Under a diff’rent name, behind a stranger’s face;
One came and went without a trace
Beyond the grasp of a warm embrace.
Touches of the lips, whispers to the ear,
Drift soft on promises so far removed from here;
And distant ships in moonlight clear
Carry away the dreams once so dear.
Unbound from our youth and the chains held tight,
Tomorrow’s mystic road moves through a sleepless night.
Yesterday is soon lost from sight
Like silent prayers on an endless flight.
Underneath the skin, deep within the heart,
Are the remains of love killed by a poisoned dart.
Blinded is the soul torn apart
By that unseen from the very start.
Then in morning light coming from the east,
The earth is shaken loud by a retreating beast.
Once shackled minds are soon unleashed;
To another time we are released.
