[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1: Robby Steinhardt]

The mist of time is still concealing

The vision that I seek

Those who died have all borne witness

If only they would speak


[Chorus: Robby Steinhardt and Steve Walsh]

Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment

Were you with me?

Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?


[Verse 2: Robby Steinhardt]

Now and then we've all been given

A glimpse of bygone days

I'd give it all to see it clearly

Not shrouded in the haze


[Chorus: Robby Steinhardt and Steve Walsh]

Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment

Were you with me?

Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?


[Instrumental Break 02:33 - 03:31]

[Bridge: Steve Walsh, with Robby Steinhardt; Robby Steinhardt]

Each man has a memory (Memory)

Much more than the eye can see (Eye can see)

Yet still, others linger deep inside you

Haunting thoughts of pain and joy divide you

Look beyond your eyes (Look beyond your eyes)

At the dark and the moody skies (Dark and moody skies)

For they're standing in your way (Standing in your way)

Can I feel the light of day?


[Instrumental Bridge 04:25 - 07:22]


[Violin Solo]


[Verse 4: Robby Steinhardt]

Now the earth gives forth its secrets

Held in mountain sea and plain

They have never been forgotten

Only locked inside my brain


[Chorus: Robby Steinhardt and Steve Walsh]

While I slept, I had a vision, I remember

You were with me

We have done it all before, in our minds behind the door


[Instrumental Outro 08:06 - 09:36]


[Violin Solo]
