Aperçu lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Robby Steinhardt]
The mist of time is still concealing
The vision that I seek
Those who died have all borne witness
If only they would speak

[Chorus: Robby Steinhardt and Steve Walsh]
Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment
Were you with me?
Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?

[Verse 2: Robby Steinhardt]
Now and then we've all been given
A glimpse of bygone days
I'd give it all to see it clearly
Not shrouded in the haze

[Chorus: Robby Steinhardt and Steve Walsh]
Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment
Were you with me?
Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?

[Instrumental Break 02:33 - 03:31]
[Bridge: Steve Walsh, with Robby Steinhardt; Robby Steinhardt]
Each man has a memory (Memory)
Much more than the eye can see (Eye can see)
Yet still, others linger deep inside you
Haunting thoughts of pain and joy divide you
Look beyond your eyes (Look beyond your eyes)
At the dark and the moody skies (Dark and moody skies)
For they're standing in your way (Standing in your way)
Can I feel the light of day?

[Instrumental Bridge 04:25 - 07:22]
[Violin Solo]

[Verse 4: Robby Steinhardt]
Now the earth gives forth its secrets
Held in mountain sea and plain
They have never been forgotten
Only locked inside my brain

[Chorus: Robby Steinhardt and Steve Walsh]
While I slept, I had a vision, I remember
You were with me
We have done it all before, in our minds behind the door

[Instrumental Outro 08:06 - 09:36]
[Violin Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
