The distance is ever widened. The time still marches on. The lover's gone sick and frightened our bonds will break anon. The minutes charge life a hour. Hours take even more. The ticking beats grow louder And marches ever forward. What is this silly game we play? This dance of laissez-faire. No further than a touch we stay, yet speak we do not dare. Say none of time and space, my dear. I will no more of love. If that is what you truly fear, silence I’ll keep thereof.

A Common Metre for a Common Feeling
The distance is ever widened. The time still marches on. The lover's gone sick and frightened our bonds will break anon. The minutes charge life a hour. Hours take even more. The ticking beats grow louder And marches ever forward. What is this silly game we play? This dance of laissez-faire. No further than a touch we stay, yet speak we do not dare. Say none of time and space, my dear. I will no more of love. If that is what you truly fear, silence I’ll keep thereof.
