Lyrics
HELLO STRANGER
hello stranger
in my mind's eye
pictures of you flicker
I haven't forgotten
what we used to share and love
and all our conversations lingering on
how could we ever fall this low
and not even feel shame or sorrow ?
hang on to your halo
before it's swept away
will I ever know
why darkness came to stay ?
goodbye stranger
I knew your cold blue eyes
would not surrender
the walls you've built are strong
and mine are paper-thin
we played it out to perfection
then you led me on
how could we ever fall this low
and not even feel shame or sorrow ?
hang on to your halo
before it's swept away
will I ever know
why darkness came to stay ?
