A slow orchestral song (but with a beat like some of Enya's stuff), this is the last track on the release, Techno-Pop 2: experiment in progress. I remember one of the lines of inspiration was the idea of standing face to face... You can also find an acoustic piano version of this song (the living room mix) on Mercurial 2: the piano tape.

It happens every day Two people pass each other by And if only they stopped they'd see What could really be Between the two of them If only they tried But still they pass on by Time and time again Still they walk on by Searching for the right one When they've already passed them by If ever there was an angel on earth It would be you If ever there was a Heaven on earth I know it would be with you Here we stand, side by side With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide Here we stand, face to face Standing still in time and place forever It happens every day I think of you and sigh If only you'd see me then you'd see What could really be Between the two of us If only you tried   But still you pass on by Time and time again Still you walk on by What do I have to do to have you Please tell me What must I do to make you mine If ever there was an angel on earth It would be you If ever there was a Heaven on earth I know it would be with you Here we stand, side by side With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide Here we stand, face to face Standing still in time and place forever
