A couple million miles ago
When the rocks and skies were red
A sole crystal flower grew
In a place long dead
Positioned upon the horizon
A single star lead the way
Compelled me then to leave there
Brought me to where I am today
[chorus]
And if I told you where I had been
You wouldn't believe it
And if I gave you a photograph
You couldn't conceive it
And if I showed my love for you
Would you think me lying?
And if I said not a word at all
Would that leave you crying?
It was in the moonlight
That I first saw your face
Not a reference to anything particular
Not love, just a taste
But as time just slipped through my fingers
I tried to make amends
Time has granted us the opportunity
To be much more than friends
[chorus, chorus ...]
