Parallel Lines (Once in this game that we still play)
Parallel lines, our lives forever,
Never apart, never together,
Each passing night, each passing day,
Tommorow fades in yesterday.
Orbiting round the same star,
Always that close, always that far,
A play where both the players pretend,
Without beginning, without end.
Once in this game that we still play,
We
Had the chance to change our way,
But,
You couldn’t find the words to say,
Then,
The moment passed, for time won’t wait,
And, Love,
Lowered her glance and closed the gate.
Parallel lines, going on in vain,
Never to meet; two drops of rain,
Two ripples from the same stone,
Moving together, and alone.
Enjoying the view, missing so much,
Well within reach, yet out of touch,
Safe in our course, nothing to fear,
Never too far, never too near.
Once in this game that we still play,
We
Had the chance to change our way,
But,
You couldn’t find the words to say,
Then,
The moment passed, for time won’t wait,
And, Love,
Lowered her glance and closed the gate.
