Hagley

She scurried through the old square
Said «I'm late» and with alarm
She brushed against a strange man
And was taken with his charm
He offered to asist her
To help her on her way
Talking came so easily
But then she had to say
Time, time if you could hold it even for awhile
Time, but nothing can reverse it even if she tries
There is time
Always time
Frought with indecision
The conclusions are the same
The clock has spurned the lover
Though she’ll never know his name
As they turn the final corner
He realised his fate
The silent kiss without a touch
And she was through the convent gates
Time, time if you could hold it even for awhile
Time, but nothing can reverse it even if she tries
There is time
Always time
