Time Never Tells

And time will never tell
 What you and I can be
 Let slip the idle ghost
 Of haunted memories
 Transcend into my pulse
 What you and I can be
 Let slip the idle ghost
 Are you a fantasy
 As the hours melt into days
 There's a picture in my heart tonight
 Of a future meant to be
 And in this empty space
 There's a single wave of guiding light
 A yearning we can see
 Hold your burning flag inside
 Glowing embers shine so bright
 On the alter of your broken soul
 But broken things can mend
 Pull the covers from your eyes
 Bow you head and realize
 There's a simple answer
 Waiting to be tried
 And time will never tell
 What you and I can be
 Let slip the idle ghost
 Of haunted memories
 Transcend into my pulse
 What you and I can be
 Let slip the idle ghost
 Are you a fantasy
 As the waves crash on the sea
 And underneath the violet skies
 Prompting can be seen
 And in your vacant face
 There's a perfect simple truth of light
 Wanting to be free
 There's a churning nag inside
 Now the fire burns so bright
 In the cradle of your righteous hand
 The hand that tempted me
 Spill the ire from your eyes
 Let your climate start to rise
 There's a future waiting
 Now you have to try
 And time will never tell
 What you and I can be
 Let slip the idle ghost
 Of haunted memories
 Transcend into my pulse
 What you and I can be
 Let slip the idle ghost
 Are you a fantasy
