Stranger

Tracing memories in my hometown with the waves, they come and go Let them carry me back in time as I wander on these shores I was just playing foolish games with my friends in our old hangout Oh, it feels just like yesterday, but so much has changed now I don't recognize the face in the middle of the frame Still I feel the same inside, I've not changed my heart or mind I don't make it easy for me, I can be hard on myself For I know that I can't count on a miracle to come my way, mm Everything is white outside, and the air is standing still For the first time after the storm, the sun smiles on the hills I was once a familiar face, like the trees growing from the ground Now I feel like I'm someone else when I take a look around I don't recognize the face in the middle of the frame Still I feel the same inside, I've not changed my heart or mind I don't make it easy for me, I can be hard on myself For I know that I can't count on a miracle to sprout I don't recognize the air that I breathe in when I'm there And I walk through the doors, like I've not been there before But the river hasn't changed, it's still running through my veins As it did when I was young, and I know it will keep on flowing, mm
