Lyrics to Forever Yours, Forever Mine

In the heat of Indian Summer

Sipping coffee at a table outside

Your eyes were on the poem I wrote you

I thought I saw a tear begin to slide

At each teardrop was an exit

But the doors they all were closed

And the sweetness of the moment

Was ironic I suppose

We never touched the hands of time

We were caught in a web so fine

Suspended, never ending

Dangled on a line

Forever yours, forever mine

In the steep September daylight

When the shadows fall at four

On the bookstores and the cafes

On the little lighthouse by the shore

Are you really made of iron?

Am I really made of stone?

Oh we were so close together

But we were never ever so alone

We never touched the hands of time

We were caught in a web so fine

Suspended, never ending

Dangled on a line

Forever yours, forever mine

Eyes just staring down the college street

Strewn with the paper of sycamore leaves

Both of us afraid to move or breathe

We couldn't stay but we couldn't leave

Even the moon of Mendocino

Shining peaceful on the sea

Tried its best to ease our heartache

I guess it was not meant to be

We never touched the hands of time

We were caught in a web so fine

Suspended, never ending

Dangled on a line

Forever yours, forever mine

Forever yours, forever mine
