Lyrics

Always a Stranger

Always a stranger

We touch at our edges

We pass in the morning

Oil on the water

My love is in flames and I'm always a stranger

We pass in the morning

My love is in flames and I'm always a stranger

You touch me, you touch me, you touch me

We meet at our edges

You touch me, you touch me

My love is in flames and I'm always a stranger

Oh, life, breathe through me

As this light falls

My love is in flames and I'm always a stranger

Always a stranger

We touch at our edges

We pass in the morning

My love is in flames and I'm always a strangеr

You shape me, you shape mе, you shape me

We meet at our centre

You shape me, you shape me

My love is in flames and I'm always a stranger

Oh, life, breathe through me

As this light falls

My love is in flames and I'm always a stranger

You shape me, you shape me, you shape me

Oh, you shape me, oh, you shape me, you shape me

Oh, you shape me, oh, you shape me, oh, you shape me

Oh, you shape me, oh, you shape me, oh, you shape me

Oh, you shape me, oh, you shape

My love is in flames and I'm always a stranger

Oh, life, breathe through me

As this light falls

My love is in flames and I'm always a stranger
