Where Are They Now - Al Stewart[00:00:01]

I sent my crack divisions[00:00:17]

Through the early morning mist[00:00:19]

When they fell on your positions[00:00:21]

You were powerless to resist[00:00:23]

Encircling and probing for[00:00:25]

The weakness in your line[00:00:27]

By night you were surrounded;[00:00:29]

Your territory mine[00:00:32]

I called for your surrender;[00:00:34]

This you swore you would not do[00:00:36]

So I stormed the very fortress [00:00:38]

You thought could shelter you[00:00:40]

I held you then upon your knees[00:00:42]

And turned to give my thanks[00:00:44]

To the regiments assembled[00:00:47]

In their ranks[00:00:48]

Where are they now [00:00:50]

Where are they now [00:00:54]

I raised you to your feet [00:01:00]

With your hand inside my own[00:01:01]

We set off upon a journey [00:01:03]

Each together each alone[00:01:05]

In the days that followed[00:01:08]

Oh our lives did overlap[00:01:10]

I learned the contours of[00:01:12]

Your body like the roads upon a map[00:01:13]

You sweetened every evening [00:01:16]

I savoured every day[00:01:18]

Just when I was certain[00:01:21]

It would always be this way[00:01:23]

You slipped beyond the reach[00:01:25]

Of my outstretched fingertips[00:01:27]

With all the kisses[00:01:29]

We'd placed upon your lips[00:01:30]

Where are they now [00:01:33]

Where are they now [00:01:37]

Oh close You're close[00:01:42]

Someone come shine a light[00:01:47]

Oh near So near[00:01:50]

But just out of sight[00:01:56]

I went in search of alchemy[00:02:03]

To resurrect the dead[00:02:05]

Sent my spies to fathom out[00:02:07]

The secrets in your head[00:02:10]

They said they heard your laughter[00:02:11]

Spinning through the summer night[00:02:13]

In the company of strangers[00:02:15]

And your eyes were wild and bright[00:02:17]

Though I grew reclusive[00:02:20]

And my days became withdrawn[00:02:22]

I held the banner of our love [00:02:24]

Now tattered and forlorn[00:02:26]

And swore that it would one[00:02:28]

Day fly above us once again[00:02:30]

To do this [00:02:32]

I had my reasons then[00:02:34]

Where are they now [00:02:36]

Where are they now [00:02:40]

Close You're close[00:03:28]

Once again come shine a light[00:03:32]

Oh near So near[00:03:36]

But just out of sight[00:03:42]

Perhaps there are some passions[00:03:45]

That are tempered by the years[00:03:47]

You reach accomodation [00:03:49]

The intensity recedes[00:03:51]

Some of this occurred to me[00:03:53]

The time I saw you last[00:03:55]

Your face familiar in a way [00:03:58]

Your voice out of the past[00:04:00]

Every gamut of emotion shared[00:04:02]

From tenderness to rage[00:04:04]

Fell away between us in the[00:04:06]

Turning of that page[00:04:09]

It seemed like only yesterday[00:04:10]

We swore that we'd be true[00:04:12]

Two innocents believing that they knew[00:04:14]

Where are they now [00:04:18]

Where are they now [00:04:22]

Where are they now [00:04:26]

Where are they now[00:04:31]
