Strangers
There was a time when you
Could read my smallest glance
There was a time you knew
My every little circumstance
Don’t know you now
Although you look the same
The boy who’s by your side
Well I don’t even know his name
—don’t even know his name
Gone, our easy way
Gone, it’s slipped away
Gone, the wheel has turned
Another shares your life
Gone, our easy way
Gone, it’s slipped away
The secret language goes
And all the ties unwind
I can no longer know
Those things inside your mind
Strangers fall in love
Is what the wise men say
But I know something more
It goes the other way
—it goes the other way
Gone, our easy way
Gone, it’s slipped away
Gone, the wheel has turned
Another shares your life
Gone, our easy way
Gone, it’s slipped away
