Heartbeats Never Timed
There's fog over the valley,
the river's running high,
Thunder's rolling from the east
through a darkening sky.
The ev'ning comes in hazy
for one moment of time,
Moving through the shades of grey
trapped in this heart of mine.
Candlelight starts flickering
in sullen breezes soft,
Bringing chills to youthful dreams
kept hidden in a loft.
Along forgotten waysides
are roads no longer signed,
They hold on to lives gone by
and mem'ries left behind.
Faces in the shadows deep
can barely hold a smile,
They await the light of day
not seen in quite awhile.
Chimes echo from an old clock
when two hands are aligned,
Ever sounding through the years
for heartbeats never timed.
