ENTRE NOUS
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson / Lyrics: Neil Peart

We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No-one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads

We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together
Like two passing ships

   Just between us
   I think it's time for us to recognize
   The differences we sometimes fear to show
   Just between us
   I think it's time for us to realize
   The spaces in between
   Leave room for you and I to grow

We are strangers to each other
Full of sliding panels
An illusion show
Acting well-rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know

We are islands to each other
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea
Some are burned or swept away
Some we would not choose
But we're not always free

DIFFERENT STRINGS
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson / Lyrics: Geddy Lee

Who's come to slay the dragon -
Come to watch him fall?
Making arrows out of pointed words
Giant killers at the call
Too much fuss and bother
Too much contradiction
And confusion
Peel away the mystery
Here's a clue to some real motivation

   All there really is
   The two of us
   And we both know why we've come along
   Nothing to explain
   It's a part of us
   To be found within a song

What happened to our innocence -
Did it go out of style?
Along with our naiveté -
No longer a child
Different eyes see different things
Different hearts
Beat on different strings
But there are times
For you and me
When all such things agree
