Come with me I can take you there

I remember

how close our spirits felt

when we were together

When there was no distance

between what you call you

and I call me

Our energies flowed together

leaving a trace of the union

we once felt

I know how to get there

just follow my lead

I can take you there

when time almost stopped

EpilogueEpilogue

For you see we are both body and spirit

We are both mass and energy

So it doesn't matter if our bodies

can no longer be together

Because I'll always be with you

as you are always with me

We are gregarious bosons

And when my temple crumbles

in that precious moment before I

get on that bus again

I'll burn the memory of your spirit

into my very nature

So the first chance I get

I'll find my way back to you

just as if time had indeed stopped
