Look Like a Stranger

Forgive me if I stare

I almost didn’t see you there

I’m fascinated by your eyes

Unlike I have so many times

And I’m eager to talk

Ask all these questions before you walk

You look like a stranger

Somebody I don’t know and never did before

There’s no recognising your eyes

And I’m surprised

That there’s nothing here any more

You’re just another person, I don’t care

And it took me a while to get there

But you look like a stranger

And its a wonder to see

It has been so long

and my memory’s almost gone

You’re an echo, a ghost

With whom I had hopes

But the dreams have changed

And I’m not the same

And you look at me like you barely know my name

You look like a stranger

Somebody I don’t know and never did before

There’s no recognising your eyes

And I’m surprised

That there’s nothing here any more

You’re just another person, I don’t care

And it took me a while to get there

But you look like a stranger

And its a wonder to see

and I love being free

free to fly and scream

I can soar so high

Ready to lose me in the sky

I can soar so high

And you look like a stranger

Somebody I don’t know and never did before

There’s no recognising your eyes

And I’m surprised

That there’s nothing here any more

You’re just another person, I don’t care

And it took me a while to get there

But you look like a stranger

And its a wonder to see
