“Beyond the When” by Donna Williams

lyrics:

Close your eyes, can you see me?
In your mind, am I real?
In your heart can you feel me?
Do you dare believe in time, beyond the present past or future?
Can your mind conceive, of a place where someone’s thoughts can reach you?

Do you recall, I’ve seen you there?
For when we met, I saw you look beyond the when, beyond the where.

Though no one’s there, you feel someone touch you? Though there is no voice, you know the words
You can feel a shadow brushing past you
Then I reach out and touch your face
You look around, there’s no one there
You’ve stumbled on that special place, that place
Beyond the when, beyond the where

In some rare moment I might need you
Just to feel I’m not alone
I close my eyes so I can see you
Then I cross that line of fantasy
And even if I’m not alone
Here is the place I feel free
Escape into a twilight zone

And do you recall I’ve seen you there?
For when we meet, I saw you look
Beyond the when, beyond the where
