Any Time or Place

Honey I don't know about you
But I think we've met before
In fact I am quite sure
This ain't the first time I've been born
Looking in these eyes of yours
Yes I would recognize you any time or place
That boyish, ancient, sad, smiling face

And honey when I look at you
I see everlasting light
And it penetrates my mind
Permeates through time
I remember all our lives

I used to be a soldier in the First World War
And the letters I would write
They would make you cry
'Til I crawled back to your door

I was hauling rocks up to that great big Pyramid
And the Pharaoh kept us fed
We walked down by the riverbed
I gave you ink and papyrus
I still remember like it was just yesterday
That boyish, ancient, sad, smiling face

I lit a little fire to heat up our cave
The sun blazed down into its grave
I grabbed a stone and I carved your name
