John Foxx - You Were There lyrics

When I was looking through

Your pictures in the night

You were there

When I fell asleep and I

Woke up in the light

And when the streets filled

And my heart stilled

And I asked someone the time

Chorus:

You were there

You were there

You were there

I know you were

And you were there

When I stopped to stare

By the quiet trees

And you were there

And I thought that you were

Someone else I'd seen

And when the traffic roared

And my heart soared

So that I could hardly breathe

(Chorus)

Oh you were there

When I stood and watched

From so many years ago

You must have smiled

When I was walking through

The places that you'd known

And when I'd given up

And all the letters stopped

And no trace at all remained

(Chorus
