시간 and 틈 both mean "time".
1. 시간 means "time" only
시간이 없다 - There is no time
2. 틈 means "time" and "space".
오늘은 틈이 없었다 - There was no time today
의자와 책상 사이에 틈이 있다 - There is the space between a chair and a desk.
3. 공간 means "space" only
저기에는 공간이 없다 - There is no space.
I hope my explanation will be helpful to you :)

Hi
It is my first answer for studying Korean people.
Maybe you like Shinee, I know that because I search your question in the google.
In my opinion, 그 긴 시간 틈에 = 그 긴 시간에 roughly same meaning.
From the context, 닫혔던 너의 창에 그 긴 시간 틈에 겨울 가고 봄이와, 틈 is time difference.
I hope you can understand that.
