Something about the way that we walked
When we stopped on the cracked earth
And shattered glass
That made up our lives
It was something I can't describe
A flame that was burning underground
Slowly flickered and went out
As we trodded over
The broken hills and the trampled plains
You smiled when I said I thought
That we'd been here at some other time
Some other time in our lives
You looked at me as if I was joking
And then turned away
And asked if I knew what you were thinking
I'll admit now that I didn't
But I pretended I did
I said that you were thinking
Of a knight who'd run out of water and breath
And was falling to the foot of the mountain
You smiled and wondered how I'd guessed right
And then pretended I didn't
And then you said that last night I had dreamed
Of a beautiful girl
Who had brilliant eyes
And who never let anything touch her
And I wondered
How you knew I was dreaming of you
