A Moment in Time

from Rembrandt Afternoons by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

I pulled a bottle from the sea
In hopes it was a time capsule
Or maybe some lost treasure
A way to look at life anew
Through someone else’s deja vu
For just a moment in time

I saw a wedding and a vow
A two hand toss into the waves
To a future beyond measure
A time to hold this life as new
To start a love that would be true
For just a moment in time

Or was it thrown by one betrayed
A dark attempt to seek some vengeance
And in that toss to find some pleasure
A sinking splash into the blue
A love no longer felt as true
In a moment of time

But it held nothing more than sand
Some would say it held a promise
Or a loss of opportunity
What I see is glass in glass
Worn through all the ages
A moment in time

I found a picture in a frame
Two women walking arm in arm
They seemed to talk a tender care
The way they leaned, a fiery touch
Or am I reading far too much
In this moment of time

They could be lovers or just friends
Maybe sisters on a stroll
A tete a tete, a secret shared
Or a new romantic crush
Or am I looking for too much
In this moment of time

It was an image cast away
Tossed into a trunk with many others
Was it calling out to me
For what I see is heart in heart
Warm through all the ages
A moment in time
