From the album "Perfect Strangers" -1984



Can you remember remember my name

As I flow through your life

A thousand oceans I have flown

And cold spirits of ice

All my life

I am the echo of your past



I am returning the echo of a point in time

Distant faces shine

A thousand warriors I have known

And laughing as the spirits appear

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 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

Is aching with the dead of the night

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
