Words by
Keith Reid

Brief soundclip ... of course this is very compressed, for the web ... it sounds superb on the CD itself

The song has sometimes been referred to by the title I Realise, which are of course its first (and frequently recurring) words

 I realise that through my eyes
Which claim to see, have no real majesty
Cannot last, within today
What is past will not stay

I realise that through my eyes
Which claim to see, can grasp infinity
And unknown, I'm alone,
And remain on my own

And though I see these reflections
Which are shown here in sections
Nothing I can see will comfort me
Or explain my mystery

I realise that through my eyes
Which claim to see, have no real majesty
Cannot last within today
What is past will not stay

And though I see these reflections
Which are shown here in sections
Nothing I could see will comfort me
Or explain my mystery

And though I see these reflections
Which are shown here in sections
Nothing I could see will comfort me
Or explain my mystery

I realise that through my eyes
Which claim to see, can grasp infinity
And unknown, I'm alone,
And remain on my own
