The snow was melting on the island
School was letting out again
The kids were packing up for college
Too old now to play pretend
But they would still dream
The boy would grow to be a doctor
The one with the dark hair and darker eyes
The girl would grow to be a teacher
Like her mother before she died
And they both had dreams
Time will fly, it has no patience
Days go by, all too complacent
Kindred souls that once were strangers
She knows he won't try to change her
She had alwavs been a writer
Tragic blessing, romantic curse
Her prose flowed from quiet desire
That one day the boy's heart would be hers
And she lived in dreams
Time will fly, it has no patience
Days go by, all too complacent
Kindred souls that once were strangers
She knows he won't try to change her
All her feelings she kept silent
Hid her rose-blush when they danced
But the boy had misread her mind and
Asked for another's hand
Still he had always been drawn to her
Couldn't seem to let her go
He left a fortune at the altar
Sent a letter to let her know
Time will fly, it has no patience
Days go by, all too complacent
Kindred souls that once were Strangers
She knows he won't try to change her
Suns that rise and set regardless
Pass them by, all too heartless
All make way for kismet lovers
Boarding trains to one another
Boarding trains to one another
