Across Time (Silent Screen Angel Pt 2)

[Intro: Instrumental + Whispered Vocals] [Atmospheric ambient textures, film crackle, soft pads, dub echoes, whispered voices] [Whispers – Backing Layer, panned L/R] "Only time will tell…" "And now the reel turns once again…" "Step through the frame…" "And see where love can take you." Verse 1 [Male Vocal, Reggae Groove] Step outside and the world feels strange Cobblestone streets, everything’s changed Model T Fords and the gas lamps’ glow I’m in the twenties—how can this be so? Across the street, my heart skips a beat There she walks, so real, so sweet [Chorus] Time keeps spinning, but my heart stands still For a ghost of love I can’t fulfill If the universe would bend the rules tonight Would you step out of that silver light? Verse 2 [Male Vocal, Reggae Groove] Standing frozen, I just watch her grace The way the lamplight touches her face Something inside makes her turn my way Like she can hear the words I cannot say Her eyes meet mine across that street One gentle smile makes the moment complete [Instrumental Break] [~15 seconds – mystical strings, ambient transitions, haunting melody] [Chorus] Time keeps spinning, but my heart stands still For a ghost of love I can’t fulfill If the universe would bend the rules tonight Would you step out of that silver light? Verse 3 [Male Vocal, Reggae Groove] Back to the glow of my TV screen Staring at a VHS tape I haven't seen Feeling confused to what just happened Was it a dream… or just imagined? [Final Chorus] Time keeps fading, but your face shines clear A love forbidden still draws me near If the universe would set the boundaries free Would you take my hand and stay with me? [Outro: Instrumental + Whispered Vocals] [Ethereal pads, reversed synths, ambient fade-out, soft vinyl crackle] [Whispers – fading into silence] "Is this real… is this real?" "Silent dreams can heal…" "Time has told… some dreams never fade."
