Do we have to be so distant How can you be so unreal? What's the reason for hiding and How this crying make you feel? - Mike Oldfield

When I was younger I had an incredible sensitivity; I suppose there were too many brain cells, or they were organised in the wrong way, and they've either reorganised themselves or I've lost lots of them through alcohol and substance abuse. I can get along without being terrified now. Maybe I've just got used to it.

Walking on foreign ground
Like a shadow
Roaming in far off territory
Over your shoulder
Stories unfold
You're searching
For a sanctuary...

She gives me hope
When there's nothing but pain;
I can't explain it:
Two different leaves
But the branch is the same...
Forever let it be!
She takes the rain...
