Between Lyrics

We are not together here
Though we lie entwined
To make room for the other presence
We both draw back in our mindsI have a prophecy
Threatening to spill into words
This growing certainty
Of overThere once was a time
I was sure of the bond
When my hands and my tongue
And my thoughts were enoughWe are the same
But our lives move along
And the third one between
Replaces what once was loveFreedom is being alone
I fear liberation
But something more alive than silence
Swallows conversationNo pleasing drama
In subtle averted eyes
The swelling fermata

As the chord diesThere once was a time
I was sure of the bond
When my hands and my tongue
And my thoughts were enoughWe are the same
But our lives move along
And the third one between
Replaces what once was loveThere's no denying
We feel the third one, we do
I'm tired of hiding
And so are youThere once was a time
I was sure of the bond
When my hands and my tongue
And my thoughts were enoughWe are the same
But our lives move along
And the third one between
Replaces what once was love
