Lyrics
The clouds were high in a summer sky, when we met finally, you and I
To anyone looking in, it seemed a nothing kind of thing
A faded curtain on a plastic rail, a black and white picture of the queen
And an old lady and a child, on whom her frail arm leans
We may be strangers
But this heart beats because of yours
Ooh, let us be strangers no more
Our faces met across the years, I could spy the shine of tears
Time and fate were cruel to you
Your marble bones and your silver skin, brushed my cheeks and rosy beam
I bore no likeness to you, except cornflower eyes of blue
We may be strangers
But this heart beats because of yours
Ooh, let us be strangers no more
For all your sorrow, we had this: a child's redemptive kiss
If only I could give you more to atone for all you missed
But for this hour we are as one
And I'll hand your heartbeat on
At six, I'm eighty years behind, and I do not know your failing mind
But I saw that you saw me
Maybe I'm the full stop of this sentence, this misnamed sin
Never a mother, but now my kin
We may be strangers
But this heart beats because of yours
Ooh, let us be strangers no more
Let us be strangers no more
