[Verse 1]
We're in the same time
But a different place
Reaching out, trying to touch each other
Across time and space
Through the dark, cold winds of winter
Our love keeps us warm
While the world tries to separate us
We’re in the eye of the storm
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold on
Don't let go
The winds of change
Are starting to blow
[Chorus]
Only when the spell is broken
Only when the curse is cast aside
When I put my arms around you
You slip through my fingers like the sands of time
[Verse 2]
There's something about you, baby
I’m haunted by your face
Tormented by the thought of you
No one can take your place
So meet me where the river
Flows into the sea
We'll set our sails for the distant horizon
And find our destiny
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold on
Don't let go
The winds of change
Are starting to blow
[Chorus]
Only when the spell is broken
Only when the curse is cast aside
When I put my arms around you
You slip through my fingers like the sands of time
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold on
Don't let go
The winds of change
Are starting to blow
[Chorus]
Only when the spell is broken
Only when the curse is cast aside
When I put my arms around you
You slip through my fingers like the sands of time
[Outro]
Like the sands of time
Like the sands of time
Like the sands of time
Like the sands of time
Like the sands of time
We're in the same time
But a different place
Reaching out, trying to touch each other
Across time and space
Through the dark, cold winds of winter
Our love keeps us warm
While the world tries to separate us
We’re in the eye of the storm
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold on
Don't let go
The winds of change
Are starting to blow
[Chorus]
Only when the spell is broken
Only when the curse is cast aside
When I put my arms around you
You slip through my fingers like the sands of time
[Verse 2]
There's something about you, baby
I’m haunted by your face
Tormented by the thought of you
No one can take your place
So meet me where the river
Flows into the sea
We'll set our sails for the distant horizon
And find our destiny
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold on
Don't let go
The winds of change
Are starting to blow
[Chorus]
Only when the spell is broken
Only when the curse is cast aside
When I put my arms around you
You slip through my fingers like the sands of time
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold on
Don't let go
The winds of change
Are starting to blow
[Chorus]
Only when the spell is broken
Only when the curse is cast aside
When I put my arms around you
You slip through my fingers like the sands of time
[Outro]
Like the sands of time
Like the sands of time
Like the sands of time
Like the sands of time
Like the sands of time
