- there are two people, not too far away,
- just a plane ride, maybe two,
- and they sit in a darkened house,
- waiting. For who?
-
- there are two people, not so very old,
- but growing older every day,
- each day passing into the next,
- nothing changes, everything changes,
- and the next time I see them
- (will I see them?)
- they will be old.
-
- there are two people,
- and even though it's not so far away,
- it is forever, now.
-
- and where were they,
- when I sold my soul...

- If it's me, it's not the other one. If it's the other one, it's not me.
- But then again, we're basically one and the same... oh bother, we're
