Intro:       /


                          
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 yester-years 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 you started out
                          
They 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
Yeah I remember how it used to be
With every note that choir boy sings

And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like a diary
