(we Are) Not Here Lyrics

Van Der Graaf Generator (we Are) Not Here

I dreamed you here beside me,
radiant, impulsively strong.
Light streaming through us blindly,
we are not here for long.

I dreamed us from the ether,
bursting through the neural stem,
vibration without meter...
we are not here again.

We are not here again.
(No way to know that when)
We are not here again.
(there is no now in then)

We are not here again.

(We are not there and then we are.
Henceforth we are not here again.)
