Continents Of Time

theresa's eyes were like the sun

to match her golden hair

her cheeks flushed and her breath froze

in the cold helsinki air

our souls aren't always visible

by the colors that we wear

carla's eyes were like a night

of mystery and ink

she bore the scars of love

beneath the cover of her drink

little did she know

of love's inseparable link

and they'd never known each other

their lives went separate ways

born of different mothers

several continents away

but the moment that they crossed

their souls would intertwine

never to be broken

over continents of time

theresa knew her father

as the man she never knew

he left her to a music box

on a dresser in her room

she tried to reconcile

his face with many rainy afternoons

carla knew her father

for all of seven years

he left her and her mother

one hot summer in tangiers

and with it all a box

that became music to her ears

CHORUS

carla and theresa

would meet through circumstance

bow is not important

if by fate or if by chance

but eyes met tears flowed

and tumbled down like rain

when they realized between these eyes

they bore one fathers name
