Written on a whim, Im not sure how to describe it or its mood
Let Us Go Where Time Stops

Let us go then, you and I,
When evening stretches onward
And the sun drops from the sky.

Let us go, through half-deserted streets,
Past cardboard restaurants
And cheap one-night hotels.

Let us go now, my love,
While the night lies, seductive, before us.
Before the day breaks, let us go.

Onward, ever onward let us go!
To that secret destination-
The paradise we've built

And there indeed we will find time,
Time to prepare a smile for the faces that we meet,
Time to murder hate and time to love, create.

Time to escape from the world
To our infinite destiny- Fate!
Time to love, to laugh, in bliss to live.

There we will find time for you and time for me,
For a hundred million indecisions,
But ne'er a moment for a single doubt.

And indeed there will be time,
To wonder "Do I dare?" and "Do I dare?"
Time to turn and glance behind.

And time for indecisions and revisions
Which in only a minute will a minute reverse-
To ever-changing, ever-shifting confusion of the mind.

So let us go, quickly now, my beloved,
To the place where our dreams are made.
Let us go, together, as one, for now the night grows late.


For there we shall find the time we need,
And hold the very seeds of forever in our hands
To twist and manipulate as we so please.

Let us go, while watching eyes remain closed in sleep,
To steal away to our hidden, secret place-
That shelter which we keep, where our love was born.

Let us go now, beloved,
For only in eternity can we find the purest joy,
And only when we go there shall our love truly flourish.
