Just like a wisp of smoke Swirling in the air I am here, there And everywhere We were introduced But never met We were both blind And deaf You didn’t stay For very long Maybe my memory Is wrong I was almost known But not quite Your sense of me Was just not right You tried to touch me Again and again I tried to let you Now and then I’m a memory of Someone, somewhere Who used to be Just over there Behind the wall That never fell The other three Made up a cell We thought we knew Each other too You, me And me, you But we were not two We were more We were not two We were four, or more I looked for you In your limbs And underneath Your silky skin You looked for me In my heart And in the mind You took apart We never found Someone there All we found Is smoky air

Here And There
Just like a wisp of smoke Swirling in the air I am here, there And everywhere We were introduced But never met We were both blind And deaf You didn’t stay For very long Maybe my memory Is wrong I was almost known But not quite Your sense of me Was just not right You tried to touch me Again and again I tried to let you Now and then I’m a memory of Someone, somewhere Who used to be Just over there Behind the wall That never fell The other three Made up a cell We thought we knew Each other too You, me And me, you But we were not two We were more We were not two We were four, or more I looked for you In your limbs And underneath Your silky skin You looked for me In my heart And in the mind You took apart We never found Someone there All we found Is smoky air
