Did It Happen?

Timeless time and endless days
The world around us standing still
Like photographs of deserted shafts
Or the statues left on distant hills
Two ghostly strands in giant hands
We would walk together you and I
And the only word from the mocking bird was love

And on the words that Jesus said
We drank the wine, we broke the bread
And as we did, how it raised the lid
On a summer's place that went on forever
Butterflies flew into our eyes
And they left the colours in our hair
While happiness came falling from a star

The sheer delight of endless light
What used to be a barren tree
Was growing flowers overnight
And scenting them with ecstasy

A cup of coffee from your hand
A gift of gold from summer camp
And did this really happen?
Did it happen?
Did it happen?
Was it fantasy?

Swallows came and they flew away
As the early dust of Autumn leaves
Were settling slow on the after glow
Of a lasting love that could not die
When suddenly on a timeless sea
How the glass that held us both together
Shattered and the whole damn thing went wrong

A thousand nights, a thousand days
Our bitter fill time can't erase
The child we grew within us two
Will never know our golden days

He'll never walk or laugh and run
Into a field, a setting Sun
And did this really happen?
Did it happen?
Did it happen?
Or a fantasy?
It's a fantasy
Just a fantasy, not love
