The Time & The Place
East of tomorrow
west of the moon
A moment in time
too late and too soon
Playing a love song
that hides in delight
Calling us upward
through storms in the night
East of tomorrow
west of the moon
Our past and our future
uncouple and swoon
Life in that moment
death left behind
The time and the place
—forever defined
