Entre Nous

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson



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 feared 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 the troubled sea

Some are burned or swept away

Some we would not choose

But we're not always free
