Ode To A Stranger

We grew in the beginning

We talked in the beginning

We became friends in the beginning

You vowed to be there

I vowed to be there

We vowed to be there

So why is it you hide in the shadow of despair

 

Oh, Dear friend of mine

Your knocking on the door of unhappiness

Let your desires take the form of a tree

and shade you with its warmth

Your deepest dreams can become your wings

and you shall soar through the clouds

 

We grew in the beginning

We talked in the beginning

We became friends in the beginning

You vowed to be there

I vowed to be there

We vowed to be there

So why is it you hide in the shadow of despair

 

Oh, Dear friend of mine

Your knocking on the door of unhappiness

Realize, you shine with the rays of a million sun's

So, lift your head you have dangled to your knees

and light up the midnight sky with you beautiful smile

 

We knew each other

We loved each other

We broke each other

 

Oh, Dear friend of mine

We're knocking on the door of unhappiness

Forgotten lore Lingers in the air like fireflies

Who is this stranger standing beside me
