When somewhere you remember

From long ago

You used to know

The secrets we were keeping.

The late-night conversation

That said it all

Our endless calls

Occurred as they were sleeping.

Lost beyond the mist of distant past

A bright blue moon

And there we are

The gone and forgotten us at last.

If you cross my mind

As I say hi in yours

Some small somewhere

Goes shift and shatter

Maybe way inside

The world in which we live

Spin and sparkle

Hidden matter.

Thick as any criminals could be

But that was then

And this is now

A slice of discarded history.

And later as the story

Proceeds apace

It's just a trace

A signal in the static.

It's background information

We'll never tell

A keepsake held

Discreetly in the attic.

If you cross my mind

As I say hi in yours

Some small somewhere

Goes shift and shatter

Maybe way inside

The world in which we live

Spin and sparkle

Hidden matter.

If I cross your mind

As you occur to me

Some small somewhere

Goes shift and shatter

Maybe way inside

The world in which we live

Spin and sparkle

Hidden matter.

Hidden matter

Hidden matter

Hidden matter

Hidden matter.
