"Just Behind The Veil" lyrics

"Just Behind The Veil"

I'm just behind the veil
So close I hear you talking about me
Don't cry so hard
It's not like I'm gone so far away
Day after day
In every way I still will remind you

Who I was and who I am
Your friend or your lover, father or brother
But I'm watching over you
From just behind the veil

I'm just behind the veil
A step in time is all that separates us
Each word you speak
Comes floating on the wind that swirls around me
Say what you say
Now listen close, so you can hear my echo

Who I was and who I am
Your sister, your daughter, friend or your lover
There'll be days when you stumble
And your courage it might fail
But I'm still watching over you
From just behind the veil

Who can say what's true or what's imagining?
Is the ripple in the mirror really you?

I'm just behind the veil
In a place out where the sun is shining
Everything's alright
Just see me like a golden rainbow
Ray after ray
I'll shine on you so you can remember

Who I was and who I am
Your son or your lover, sister or mother
There'll be days when you stumble
And your courage it might fail
But I'm here watching over you
From just behind the veil
I'm here watching over you
From just behind the veil
Just behind the veil

Hear my echo...
