The Stranger

So close but yet so far Prodigal son, you shine just like a star But as you know The light that burns twice as bright Burns half as long, right That's just the way it is And you wish if you could change Turn back the time But the grip of addiction is o' so tight A reflection of northern overkill Endless search for continuous thrill Staring out over the bridge Into the water deep down below Cannot find any rhyme or reason To go on It makes you suffer, it makes you cry You don't know who you are The Stranger Now servant on the other side Personality never identified Well I don't have to be back Just see the shadows fall Like a breath of a dying god No more things to say Take me home Staring out over the bridge Into the water deep down below Cannot find any rhyme or reason To go on It makes you suffer, it makes you cry You don't know who you are The Stranger Now servant on the other side Personality never identified
