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.
