Not Our Time - Ghost Twin

A lazy sunbeam makes its way

Across the room

As I sink down into this bed we share

If I looked over I would see

The ceiling caving in

But I’d rather rest

Into your gentle stare

I’m making coffee for you love

Nudging you gently to get up

It’s time for life, dreams are done

A kiss goodbye, warm with the sun

I hear the door catch

I know you have returned

And I forget the time I was alone

I reach out longingly

And draw your hands inside

We know this broken house

Contains a happy home

The chilling wind, the burning sun

They cannot claim us till we’re done

And my love it’s not our time

Someday we’ll find a little place

Glass-cased shelves, a rooftop garden

Until then, my home’s your smiling face

A safe space to lay my heart in
