When the zephyrs pulse the sails I feel the tiller in my fingers
Feluccas dancing, flirting on the swollen Nile
Slowly touch the distance, the meniscus of horizons
A shimmering mirage across the desert sands

I follow silken threads in coral caves in soft suspension
Blades of torches scything through the stagnant gloom
Life's breath escapes like mercury, swarming to the ceiling
Silver serpents tunnel shadows to another room

I sensed someone there, I turned around, it wasn't you
I couldn't recognise at first just who it was, it had been a while
It seems crazy after all that has been said and done
I took a vow that we would never walk alone
But here I am, eye to eye, face to face
With the other side of me

Where the doorways tempt my intrigue with another key of sunlight
I am not afraid
I nurse a steady heartbeat, the currency of breathing
Pays my way toward new openings, in a life I used to know before

First person singular, me, myself, I
First person singular, no tears left to cry
I'm smiling deep inside, first person singular
I wander through the archways of green and lush cathedrals
Barefoot on soft needles on the forest floor
Awake inside a daydream, sombre meditation
I only hear the whisper of the falling leaves

It seems crazy after all that has been said and done
I took a vow that we would never walk alone
So here I am, eye to eye, face to face
With the other side of me

I lay on table mountain, gazing down on endless ocean
And I knew deep in my soul that I was not alone
I was not alone
Heightened by the freedom of this new realisation
The sun rose to the heavens through this crack of dawn
This crack of dawn

I sensed someone there, I turned around, it wasn't you
I couldn't recognise at first just who it was, it had been a while
It seems crazy after all that has been said and done
I took a vow that we would never walk alone
So here I am, eye to eye, face to face
With the other side of me
The other side of me
The other side of me
On the other side of you
