Somewhere in Time in My Mind 

What dwells in that space in Time?
What dwells in that space in my mind?
Why can't I tell you I love you clearly?
Is there still Time to love and live?

Only Time will tell and Time won't tell me.
My mind is a curious place that sees wonders.
It sees places familiar and places of dreams.
But, it cannot see the future only the past.

And the glass between you and I is thick,
And sometimes it's opaque and clouded
We have come far together stay with me forever
Touch my open heart before it withers

There are streets of fire 
There is no way to avoid the flames
So I go on into the path of  it all
I go into the place I should never have gone

I know you
I know the part of you that loves me
I know it may never touch me 
I take the chance it will and love

There is a naked truth to love
That truth is that it is a myth a dream
Our hearts and minds conspire to mix perception
Into that which we need to feel and they succeed

So in my dreams and in my mind you are there
Somewhere in Time you will see me and touch me 
And Time will stand still and it will fear me for once
And when we make love I will have finally won

Anywhere without you is nowhere
Time has no meaning if you are not here
My mind is empty of value without you in it
Somewhere in time when we touch I will be complete
