Call it what you want - an illusion Some departure of the mind You can say I'm suffering from delusions But I say that I tapped the line
I was standing in some other country Outside this century I looked at my watch and it was stopped at 925 a.d
I was One, Two, Three Four times gone
Vague shapes took form that night There were girls with dangling earrings on Standing outside of brightly lighted places And they spoke to me in the hours before the dawn
They said, 'Where you laugh others have laughed Where you cry others have cried And where we sleep you will sleep some day Across the Great Divide'
And they gathered 'round and shouted out 'What are you doing here?' I said, 'I don't know, I'm not sure I haven't got a clue' And right then they disappeared
I guess that's all there was to it A glimpse, an impression - nothing more Then I put my hand right through it And I was once again this side of the Door
