| When the zephyrs pulse the sails I feel the tiller in my fingers | 
| Feluccas dancing, flirting on the swollen Nile | 
| Slowly touch the distance, the meniscus of horizons | 
| A shimmering mirage across the desert sands | 
| I follow silken threads in coral caves in soft suspension | 
| Blades of torches scything through the stagnant gloom | 
| Life’s breath escapes like mercury, swarming to the ceiling | 
| Silver serpents tunnel shadows to another room | 
| I sensed someone there, I turned around, it wasn’t you | 
| I couldn’t recognise at first just who it was, it had been a while | 
| It seems crazy after all that has been said and done | 
| I took a vow that we would never walk alone | 
| But here I am, eye to eye, face to face | 
| With the other side of me | 
| Where the doorways tempt my intrigue with another key of sunlight | 
| I am not afraid | 
| I nurse a steady heartbeat, the currency of breathing | 
| Pays my way toward new openings, in a life I used to know before | 
| First person singular, me, myself, I | 
| First person singular, no tears left to cry | 
| I’m smiling deep inside, first person singular | 
| I wander through the archways of green and lush cathedrals | 
| Barefoot on soft needles on the forest floor | 
| Awake inside a daydream, sombre meditation | 
| I only hear the whisper of the falling leaves | 
| It seems crazy after all that has been said and done | 
| I took a vow that we would never walk alone | 
| So here I am, eye to eye, face to face | 
| With the other side of me | 
| I lay on table mountain, gazing down on endless ocean | 
| And I knew deep in my soul that I was not alone | 
| I was not alone | 
| Heightened by the freedom of this new realisation | 
| The sun rose to the heavens through this crack of dawn | 
| This crack of dawn | 
| I sensed someone there, I turned around, it wasn’t you | 
| I couldn’t recognise at first just who it was, it had been a while | 
| It seems crazy after all that has been said and done | 
| I took a vow that we would never walk alone | 
| So here I am, eye to eye, face to face | 
| With the other side of me | 
| The other side of me | 
| The other side of me | 
| On the other side of you |
