Like a hammer making the iron glow No matter how hard I tried I couldn't shape you, no Oblivious we were cooling down Our days were loaned I was moving like a sinking stone I was a stranger to someone who knew me Though they could recognise my face Couldn't escape to all my dreaming So left my body in the waste But I've been thinking about you, stranger Kept on looking for some room to spare Found a dozen others buried there Asked for logic from the unsneering they said I should know There are other ways for me to go I was a stranger to someone who knew me Though they could recognise my face Couldn't escape to all my dreaming So left my body in the waste But I've been thinking about you, stranger Couldn't change No I couldn't change
