In Any Other Time

It's like two ships passing
Across the lonely sea
It's like a shooting star
That sails over me
It's in the right place
But at the wrong time
They need to tread carefully
It's a very fine line

They know it's so wrong
It could never be right

In any other time
Or in any other place
Things would be different
They wouldn't part ways
In any other time
Or in any other place
They could have made it
Now it's gone without a trace

The fates would have chosen
The paths they now walk on
Destined to miss the moment
A dangerous liaison
They know it's best
Not to break a happy home
A lifetime of what ifs?
Just to chase that unknown

They know it's so wrong
It could never be right

In any other time
Or in any other place
Things would be different
They wouldn't part ways
In any other time
Or in any other place
They could have made it
Now it's gone without a trace

They know it's so wrong
It could never be right

In any other time
Or in any other place
Things would be different
They wouldn't part ways
In any other time
Or in any other place
They could have made it
Now it's gone without a trace
