mercury rev - everything i thought i had lost lyrics

sometimes, when i close my eyes
everything i thought i had lost
one by one, i keep finding again
wave after wave of names, faces, pets and places
deep down things half a world away
but closer than they seem
on the night sea of memory
some clear, some fade, beautiful, but strange
and sometimes when i close my eyes
you’re there, but blurred
like a landscape from a train
your face as great as india once was
your gaze, reaching me slowly now
like a bank of clouds that could only have come
from far, far away

sometimes, when i close my eyes
everything i thought i had lost, one by one, i keep finding
everything i thought i had lost, one by one, i keep finding again

and sometimes, when i close my eyes
everyone i thought i had lost, one by one, i keep finding again
drifting the way all drifters drift
thumbs out, eyes open, scanning the horizon
spirits moving slow enough to be seen
on the night sea of memory
old friends, twin flames
windblown scribbles of light never closer to me than now
but blurred like morning on the seine
their faces, reaching me slowly now
like a bank of clouds that could only have come
from far, far away
sometimes, when i close my eyes
everyone i thought i had lost, one by one, i keep finding
everyone i thought i had lost, one by one, i keep finding again
