Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you remember, remember my name?
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown, ohh
And cold, cold spirits of ice, uh, uh
[Verse 2]
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
And distant faces shine
[Verse 3]
A thousand warriors I have known, ohh
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your, all your life
Shadows of another day
[Verse 4]
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain perfect strangers
[Verse 5]
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
[Verse 6]
The voice of ages in your mind, ohh
Is aching with the dead of the night, ohh
Precious life, your tears are lost in falling rain
[Verse 7]
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain perfect strangers
