Elements in Double Time

Elements in Double Time
==========================================
Seems like I have known you for at least a year
Thirty days of sweetness oh so very clear
Every little kiss a miracle to feel
Stretching out forever as if it’s not real

Talking on the balcony, the setting sun
Shining in those eyes of yours that leap and run
Shadows creep in slowly and the light will fade
Mirrors of the times we’ve had and love we’ve made

Ordinary people, it’s just you and me
Making up our world, our private fantasy
Every moment lost
Every loving boundary crossed
Each new glass of wine
Elements in double time

Letters that I wrote you, most at three a.m.
Are they in ashes now or are you saving them
Ninety days from now will all this still be here
Could it be that joy meets passion and defeats the fear

On a scotch-fueled escapade a torch is burned
Savage lies the tiger whose gaze is turned
Broken vows of patience, of love undone
Keeps me hanging here inside this shining sun
