In My Mind

Within the passage of time I see you, my enchanted ecstasy,walking Down a cobblestone street in silhouette. Carefully placed footsteps echoing the The pavement without the slightest of regrets. Through the faint gas lit corridor Vintage smells and a whispering wind Accompany me. Now matter where I go - No matter when I go – Footsteps going forward Revealing the past. In a cumbersome transom blended With a tap-ta-tap, tap-ta-tap Of a horse drawn carriage – Therein our song is revealed. Where else but in music do thoughts Blend reality with emotions? There in my mind’s eye Tap-ta-tap, tap-ta-tap, tap-ta-tap. Do I have any life but this? If not - let me lead it from here. No death there be ‘lest Dispelled from there. Nor any ties to earths to come. Nor any action in any effort of new. Except in the blessed extent In the realm of loving you. And in my mind’s eye – The music, Tap-ta-tap, tap-ta-tap - Of cobblestone and hoof – Ta-tap Always Ta-tap Returns me to you.
