Everything I Thought I Had Lost

Sometimes, when I close my eyes Everything I thought I had lost One by one, I keep finding again Wave after wave of names, faces, pets and places Deep down things half a world away But closer than they seem On the night sea of memory Some clear, some fade, beautiful, but strange And sometimes when I close my eyes You're there, but blurred Like a landscape from a train Your face as great as India once was Your gaze, reaching me slowly now Like a bank of clouds that could only have come From far, far away Sometimes, when I close my eyes Everything I thought I had lost, one by one, I keep finding Everything I thought I had lost, one by one, I keep finding again And sometimes, when I close my eyes Everyone I thought I had lost, one by one, I keep finding again Drifting the way all drifters drift Thumbs out, eyes open, scanning the horizon Spirits moving slow enough to be seen On the night sea of memory Old friends, twin flames Windblown scribbles of light never closer to me than now But blurred like morning on the Seine Their faces, reaching me slowly now Like a bank of clouds that could only have come From far, far away Sometimes, when I close my eyes Everyone I thought I had lost, one by one, I keep finding Everyone I thought I had lost, one by one, I keep finding again [Instrumental Outro]
