lyrics

I close my eyes
Your face appears before me
Dancing like a thousand stars in the sky
So I open the windows of the world
And watch as you walk by

The spirit moves
In strange wondrous ways
I can't begin to explain how I knew
However unpredictable it seems
It would lead me to you

I feel like I've known you before
And I think I need to know you again
I've got to get you back in my life
'Cause who knows how why or when
This will happen again

Tears fill my eyes
Your beauty has assaulted me
Pinned me to this cross on which I lie
And with the weight of the world bearing down
I watch you walk by

The sun goes down
Surrounded once again
I am haunted by a ghost that won't lie down
So I walk through the doorway of my soul
And there you are found

I feel like I've known you before
And I think I need to know you again
I've got to get you back in my life
'Cause who knows how why or when
This will happen again
