Analysis of Between



Between twilight and mystic dawn
Between hello and I am gone,
Between the Blues and I am Black
Between goodbye and I am back,

Between in-like and "crazy love",
Eyes meet and hearts belong.
There is born a gentle wind
Where rhythms and rhymes begin.

Lyric breezes whispering,
Recue dreams living within.
Promise dances to their song
Between twilight and mystic dawn.
