In waves of people you can lose your feet
You've got to stay hard, to the ground
It gets so easy now to lose your way
When you're ever outward bound
A church bell ringing in the fading light
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
The ghost of yesteryears is touching you
And as sure as God you'll fall

And I see you and I see me
I see it all like it used to be

And all the reasons why it started out
Hit you hard with every bell
The choir practice in the empty hall
Is a sound you know so well
Like something lost inside your overcoat
You find it later, by mistake
You lost it all a thousand years ago
And you pray it's not too late

And I see you and I see me
I see it all like a diary
And I see you and I see me
I see it all like it used to be
I'm gonna write it in a diary
Now I remember everything
Yea I remember how it used to be
With every note that choirboy sings

And I see you and I see me
I see it all like it used to be
And I see you and I see me
I see it all like a diary
