Between Times

Listen, my love;

Sometimes i've never known silence of this kind

The silence of stars

Higher than we've ever flown

Carry me over between times.

In your red room on quilted blankets

Laying awake in the low light.

Nothing, i know, can ever be more than now

Gather me up here, between times.

Say for me now that you mean to wait for me

Say for me now that you'll still be here tomorrow.

But all time is now, and time can do nothing else

Awaken your body beneath mine.

I may get it wrong

And maybe i'll get it right

Warm and unclose me between times.

And all that i have is all that i've ever known

Carry me over

Between times

Between times.
