Perfect Stranger

Can you remember
Remember my name
As I flow through your life?
A thousand oceans I have flown, oh
And cold
Cold spirits of ice (ice, ice)
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning
The echo of a point in time
In distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known, oh
And laughing
As the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers
Ooh ooh
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
Oh
A strand of silver
Hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind, oh
Is aching
With the dead of the night
Oh, precious life
Your tears are lost in falling rain
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers
