Female Voice
a time there was
to race my heart
across the dunes
with you in chase
and laughter
circling us
with grace
earth and sky
combining light
that washed across
your handsome face
as you looked deep
into my eyes
and cupped my head
within your hands
and kissed me for all time
a time there was
of deep remembrance
of every hour we shared together
a time there was
when we get home
fly like the birds
across the sea
miles and miles
of aching blue
soft white clouds
the thunder clap of colour
bright stabbing light
slashed with rain
when we get home
Male Voice
a time there was
to charm my way
into your heart
to feel the pride
of being loved
to know the sense
of deep belonging
and now you cannot move
frozen in time
beyond me
and now we know
we'll not grow old
beyond these exiled days
this aching sense of deep belonging
now stabs my heart
with different pain
as beauty dies and death remains
we shall not return
to that magic world
a time there was
a time there was
when we get home
fly like the birds
miles and miles
soft white clouds
when we get home
when we get home
