today i woke hidden from the sun i heard a young man speaking magic on his tongue bound at the feet taken by the wrist he reaches out to me a diamond in his fist i hear my name repeating like a prayer within the chambers of the early morning air you speak of love so innocent and clear invent an emptiness where i can disappear and time goes away where no one can see but in the minds eye the summer never ends the days go on and on until you sleep again the strangers kissed the lovers could not part they could not see the ending coming from the start there were no signs no changes in the air if there were better times i cant imagine where but in the minds eye the summer never ends the days go on and on until you sleep again and time goes away where no one can see today i woke his name upon my tongue i saw the birds above me leaving one by one a promise held too tightly always comes apart within the verses and reverses of the heart but in the minds eye the summer never ends the days go on and on until you sleep again and time goes away
