lyrics

TO YOU STRANGER

At the end of the story some letters remain
To fashion a question to spell out your name
But the sequel’s been cancelled, the producer caved in
It was too strong a love story, he wanted tears in the end

But I’m a feckless romantic, I’ve been weary and tired
I’ve been praying my heartache to that stranger light child
I know there’s the fullness for a peace that runs deep
He’s the stranger in you through the doorway of your sleep

In my flight from time to the Cross Bath Spring
Now I’ll make the song that I’ll never sing

Clouds melt into vapour, the lark is struck dumb
And the moon has departed behind the eye of the sun
And I submit to the midnight along your pale avenue
Where your house is still standing but the light changed the view

Now the breakers are roaring, the lovers shift scene
Pierrot pirouettes his sad tambourin
And the sailors get restless with the scent of the sea
And scan a twisted horizon for that boat ferrying me

Did God fashion his glory for a world cast in doubt
Babel Tower posing questions with all the answers leached out
And I am a stranger and I’m looking for you
To find in the both of us his presence made true
