We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn’t there
He said I was his friend
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh, no
Not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
~
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
We marked a million hills
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago
Who knows?
Not me
I never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
~
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
