   Once I thought I saw you   
   in a crowded hazy bar,   
   Dancing on the light   
   from star to star.   
   Far across the moonbeam   
   I know that's who you are,   
   I saw your brown eyes   
   turning once to fire.   
      
   You are like a hurricane   
   There's calm in your eye.   
   And I'm gettin' blown away   
   To somewhere safer   
   where the feeling stays.   
   I want to love you but   
   I'm getting blown away.   
      
   etc.   
      
   I relate this to my encounter with Sarah McLachlan in the   
   Treehouse Lounge (basement of the St. Regis Hotel   
   diagonally opposite from The Railway Club) in Vancouver   
   the night of May 13, 1995.   
      
   But I was also strongly moved by the song during a   
   New Year’s Eve countdown, probably at the end   
   of the year in which it came out, and I often play   
   it on New Year’s Eve (or usually early on New   
   Year’s Day morning).
