Standing Still
Date: 12/21/1992
It happens every dayTwo people pass each other by
And if only they stopped they'd see
What could really be
Between the two of them
If only they tried
But still they pass on by
Time and time again
Still they walk on by
Searching for the right one
When they've already passed them by
If ever there was an angel on earth
It would be you
If ever there was a Heaven on earth
I know it would be with you
Here we stand, side by sideIt happens every day
With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Here we stand, face to face
Standing still in time and place forever
I think of you and sigh
If only you'd see me then you'd see
What could really be
Between the two of us
If only you tried
But still you pass on by
Time and time again
Still you walk on by
What do I have to do to have you
Please tell me
What must I do to make you mine
If ever there was an angel on earth
It would be you
If ever there was a Heaven on earth
I know it would be with you
Here we stand, side by side
With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Here we stand, face to face
Standing still in time and place forever
A slow orchestral song (but with a beat like some of Enya's stuff), this is the last track on the release, Techno-Pop 2: experiment in progress. I remember one of the lines of inspiration was the idea of standing face to face... You can also find an acoustic piano version of this song (the living room mix) on Mercurial 2: the piano tape.
