In and Out of Time

The sun has come
The mists have gone
We see in the distance our long way home
I was always yours to have, you were always mine
We have loved each other in and out of time
When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
And the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I had always loved you more
You freed your braids
Gave your hair to the breeze
It hung like a hive of honeybees

I reached in the mass for the sweet honeycomb there
God, How I loved your hair

You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance
Lost, injured, hurt by chance
I screamed to the heavens; loudly screamed
Trying to change our nightmares into dreams
The sun has come
The mists have gone
We see in the distance our long way home
I was yours to have and you were always mine
We loved each other in and out
In and out
In and out of time
