Beyond Time's River
There are birds within the light,
Drifting softly through the sky,
I wonder how they touch the waves,
When every cloud
begins to fade.
Falling gently through the blue,
Like dreams that never made it through,
The river carries every sound,
Of every heart that once was found.
The clock keeps turning,
round and round, While distant echoes fill the sound.
If I could hold a moment still,
Would time remember what I feel?
Tick-tock, let the river flow,
Take me somewhere I don't know.
Past the moon and through the blue,
Every second leads to you.
Tick-tock, hear the time go by,
Like a shooting star across the sky.
Even when the night is through,
I'll keep searching, searching for you. (ooh)
There are birds within the light,
Golden feathers fading white,
They disappear beyond the blue,
Like every road that leads to you.
The wind is calling out my name,
But every echo sounds the same.
The clouds keep dancing overhead,
While rivers carry words unsaid.
The hands of time will never rest,
They pull tomorrow
from the past. But somewhere underneath the rain,
I hear your voice come back again.
Tick-tock, let the river flow,
Take me where the lost dreams go.
Past the stars and through the blue,
Every heartbeat leads to you.
Tick-tock, don't let time erase Every memory,
every trace. Even if the seasons change,
Some things never drift
away. (oh)
If the stars fall into the sea,
Would they still shine eternally?
Would the moon remember our eyes,
When we were young
beneath the skies? And somewhere beyond tomorrow,
Past the joy and past the sorrow,
A keeper watches every hour,
As the river bends beneath her.
Tick-tock, let the heavens ring,
Hear the sound of everything.
Every moment, every dream,
Flows together like a stream.
Tick-tock, through the endless night,
Follow me beyond the light.
When the final seconds fade,
I'll remember every day. (ooh)
There are birds within the light,
Flying where the waters shine.
And if I lose my way someday,
I'll trust the river knows the way.
Tick… tock… Time carries on.
