wrong side of time
It was somewhere near the border of the ancient wilderness.
It was the country that we both knew best.
It seemed we could escape that god-forsaken place
But she found herself standing, bound in space.
And as an unseen clock told the tale through its chimes,
I was left standing on the wrong side of time.
We met one second later, it was an eternity.
It was too late for her and it was too late for me.
We left in a hurry, didn’t look back.
We reached the West Country and a one-room shack.
It seemed we could meet at the same time and place
But she found herself standing, bound in space.
And as an unseen clock told the tale through its chimes,
I was left standing on the wrong side of time.
The clock hadn’t moved, not that we could tell.
But we’d been there before, in that empty cell.
We started traveling light with nothing to lose.
But the lack of evidence is not the lack of abuse.
It seemed that this time it would be a tie race
As we entered an elevator at number one Park-it Place.
But she found herself standing, bound in space.
And as an unseen clock told the tale through its chimes,
I was left standing on the wrong side of time.
The clock moved backwards as our hearts stopped beating.
In new territory there’s no direction for cheating.
We entered the starting gate for a three-legged race.
It seemed like the right time and the right place.
But the gun’s sound found her standing, bound in space.
And as an unseen clock told the tale through its chimes,
I was left standing on the wrong side of time.
