Isn't it Strange?
I'm not Alexander
No conqueror, prophet, inventor of any kind
And I'm not Napoleon
A suitcase can hold all the traces I've left behind
It might be hard to understand
But it's over, it's finished, just take my hand
Cause I want you, I need you right now
Isn't it strange how hard we try?
Preservation
Museums, cathedrals and graveyards and libraries
But who is preserving
The man in the corner, the silent, the rarely seen?
There are many unknown dead
It's just that some of their hearts are beating still
It might be hard to understand
But it's over, it's finished, just take my hand
Cause I want you, I need you right now
Isn't it strange how we hold onto the line?
The beach is a nice place
To meet an old friend
Though my eyelids are closed
I see the seagulls fly
(And the seagulls they fly)
And the seagulls they fly
Fly!
Want you, I need you right now
Yeah I want you, I need you by my side
Cause I want you, I need you right now
Isn't it strange how we all fall out of time?
No conqueror, prophet, inventor of any kind
And I'm not Napoleon
A suitcase can hold all the traces I've left behind
It might be hard to understand
But it's over, it's finished, just take my hand
Cause I want you, I need you right now
Isn't it strange how hard we try?
Preservation
Museums, cathedrals and graveyards and libraries
But who is preserving
The man in the corner, the silent, the rarely seen?
There are many unknown dead
It's just that some of their hearts are beating still
It might be hard to understand
But it's over, it's finished, just take my hand
Cause I want you, I need you right now
Isn't it strange how we hold onto the line?
The beach is a nice place
To meet an old friend
Though my eyelids are closed
I see the seagulls fly
(And the seagulls they fly)
And the seagulls they fly
Fly!
Want you, I need you right now
Yeah I want you, I need you by my side
Cause I want you, I need you right now
Isn't it strange how we all fall out of time?
