Between Times

Listen, my love; Sometimes I've never known silence of this kind The silence of stars Higher than we've ever flown Carry me over between times. In your red room on quilted blankets Laying awake in the low light. Nothing, I know, can ever be more than now Gather me up here, between times. Say for me now that you mean to wait for me Say for me now that you'll still be here tomorrow. But all time is now, and time can do nothing else Awaken your body beneath mine. I may get it wrong And maybe I'll get it right Warm and unclose me between times. And all that I have is all that I've ever known Carry me over Between times Between times.
