We passed upon the stair We spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there He said I was his friend Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you died alone A long, long time ago Oh no Not me I never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world I laughed and shook his hand And made my way back home I searched for form and land For years and years, I roamed I gazed a gazely stare And all the millions here We must have died alone A long long time ago Who knows? Not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world Oh no, not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world
