You're Still a Stranger to Me

Liner Notes

Lyrics

We,ve been together for so many years
Still I don't know why you cry all those tears
It's just a riddle wrapped in mystery
You're still a stranger to me
Is it a stigma I don't understand
You're an enigma still holding my hand
It's just a puzzle a true oddity
You're still a stranger to me

I thought I knew just how you would react
But I was wrong - a deplorable fact
Your reputation - ambiguity
You're still a stranger to me
Always a danger that I would forget
Who said a stranger's a friend youve not met?
You're not a part of my community
You're still a stranger to me

It seems unlikely I was unaware
That there was nothing that would make you care
It seems to me that we never agree
You're still a stranger to me
Our conversations are just surface noise
And our relations have lost all their poise
There is no chance of more intimacy
You're still a stranger to me

setting this in waltz time (or perhaps 6/8?) lends it so much charm. the refrain ties everything together, and in such a timeless way too. the tune would fit among some in a book on my shelf called "Songs that Never Grow Old". and the lyrics are sweet in a way -- maybe we all have that one person in our lives who we're close to in one regard or another, but they're just baffling.

Great lyrics, and a really nice implementation of the refrain. It works really well throughout, emphasizing the points made in the verses. There’s tone, too, that belies the sadness of the subject

@sunfire 6w

This is an excellent lyric. I think this relatable. Who hasn't either been in a relationship or friendship with someone and thoughts like this come to you at some point? Very good delivery and playing as well. Nice job here.
