Where Have I
Known You Before?

Where have I known you before?
Where have we sailed among galaxies bright?
Laughing and dancing, creating each night
Deciding the course to then venture on out
Love, you, space, and I
Free from fear, free from doubt
Where have I known you before?

Where have I loved you before?
Was it just yesterday, or millenia ago?
I kissed, touched, held, and needed you so
Your face is so different ... yet you
You're you—just you
Still glowing and silvery bright
Wondrous, dancingly bright
I knew you the moment you entered my room
That infinite, eternal night
Where have I loved you before?

Where have I lost you before?
Was it when you gave your life
To save that pharaoh king?
Or when our golden mothership took flight
Far away from Saturns rings
Was it when we made the pact,
Then drifted into violet space
So certain we would reach the other side
But there was no such place

Where have I hurt you before?
Where did I hurt you so deep—so deep
To hear you say you knew me not
When you alone could save me there
And free me from that tyrant's keep
Defender of the Vulcan Worlds
Where filled my mind with blackened sleep

Where have I known you before?
The moment I saw you I knew
I had found again the singer of a thousand songs
That haunted every dream
The painter of the colors of my mind
Reminding me of places we had been
I'm seeing clearer now—the truth unfolds
The past all drifts away
You're back again—my dearest friend

You never went away! 1
