Lyrics

Can you remember, remember my name?As I flow through your lifeA thousand oceans I have flownOhh, and coldCold spirits of iceAh, ah, all my lifeI am the echo of your past

I am returning, the echo of a point in timeAnd distant faces shineA thousand warriors I have knownOhh, and laughingAs the spirits appear

All your, all your lifeShadows of another day

If you hear me talking on the windYou’ve got to understandWe must remainPerfect strangers

I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow

A strand of silver hanging through the skyTouching more than you seeThe voice of ages in your mindOh, is aching with the dead of the nightOhh, precious lifeYour tears are lost in falling rain

And if you hear me talking on the windYou’ve got to understandWe must remainPerfect strangers
