Time Stands Still

I've been blind, she's been kind.
 She knows at times I forget to see.
 Through a cold dark cloud,
 an imaginary shroud or a shadow settles over me.
 I once was smart, it was back at the start.
 I offered her my body and my soul.
 Thought in my heart it would tear me apart;
 It made me whole.
 Keep it simple, keep it clear. It's what we like to hear.
 She don't argue, she don't ever lie.
 If I say it's so, it's so. She don't want to know
 If it's a metaphor or something in disguise.
 She let me know, a long time ago
 It's better to say just what I mean.
 Truth to tell it can hurt like hell,
 But it keeps me clean.
 My guiding star, I don't stray far.
 I keep her in my mind and in my eye.
 I've been lost before, but never any more.
 I just look up at my compass in the sky.
 I had my fears, in the early years,
 That I'd locked me up and throw'd away the key
 I lost my mind to the ties that bind,
 But it set me free
 Oh she's fast, I know I'll never ask,
 She's by me now but I don't really mind
 I hardly know, I'm oh so slow,
 My shadow often kicks me from behind.
 I once was fast, in the distant past.
 In a mighty demonstration of my will,
 I kissed her twice at the speed of light.
 Time stood still.
 I kissed her twice at the speed of light,
 And time stood still.
