Josh Ritter - Gathering

Strangers

You and I danced closer than our shadows to the ground
Closer than our laughter to the sound
And you knew me even better then
Than I even know me now
And I can't believe that we were ever strangers

We come into this world naked as the girl above the bar
Spend our lifetimes wondering who we are
Then someone comes along and they know our heart by heart
And I can't believe that we were ever strangers
Ever strangers
Ever strangers

You and I danced closer than the trumpet to the vine
Closer than the couplet to the rhyme
And I know there was a time before, but I cannot bring it to mind
And I can't believe that we were ever strangers
I just can't believe that we were ever strangers
