The Outside In

How young our love was
Time came between us
And soon we were looking from
The outside in

Two lonely strangers
Lost in the mirror
Of watching their life go by
From the outside in

The city lights were burning
The distant stars were turning
When fate took you like the wind
To never come again

Now only time between us
And only dreams we dream of
Away from the life it’s been
Here from the outside in

How long will I be
Here at this window
A stranger who sees you from
The outside in

Looking so slowly
Into the lonely
Lost shadow of life gone by
From the outside in

How long our love was
Time came between us
Looking from the outside in
