Strangers
If you say you'll be mine forever,
Then we'll go down to yonder river,
And when we're there I will declare,
We'll last until the end.
And everything that lies before us,
The opening verse, the final chorus,
Will seek to trace our hiding place,
And greet us as a friend.
I'm so afraid of dying lonely,
I swear to god I love you only,
Where are the make believers?
What was fortold?
Where are tomorrow's children?
Are they growing old?
I can't die not knowing,
Where I will go
We are just hopeless strangers,
Wandering the road.
I used to hold that every story,
Would start in tears and end in glory,
But I've read so many stories now,
I know that's not the way.
I've strayed away from good intentions
More often than I care to mention
And it seems at times I've left behind
The songs of yesterday.
I'm so afraid of dying lonely,
I swear to god I love you only,
Where are the make believers?
What was fortold?
Where are tomorrow's children?
Are they growing old?
I can't die not knowing,
Where I will go
We are just hopeless strangers,
Wandering the road.
We are just hopeless strangers,
Wandering the road.
Then we'll go down to yonder river,
And when we're there I will declare,
We'll last until the end.
And everything that lies before us,
The opening verse, the final chorus,
Will seek to trace our hiding place,
And greet us as a friend.
I'm so afraid of dying lonely,
I swear to god I love you only,
Where are the make believers?
What was fortold?
Where are tomorrow's children?
Are they growing old?
I can't die not knowing,
Where I will go
We are just hopeless strangers,
Wandering the road.
I used to hold that every story,
Would start in tears and end in glory,
But I've read so many stories now,
I know that's not the way.
I've strayed away from good intentions
More often than I care to mention
And it seems at times I've left behind
The songs of yesterday.
I'm so afraid of dying lonely,
I swear to god I love you only,
Where are the make believers?
What was fortold?
Where are tomorrow's children?
Are they growing old?
I can't die not knowing,
Where I will go
We are just hopeless strangers,
Wandering the road.
We are just hopeless strangers,
Wandering the road.
