Perfect Strangers

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
Ah, ah, all my life, I am the echo of your past (echo of your past)

I am returning, the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
Oh, and laughing, as the spirits appear
All, 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

(I know)
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow

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 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
