We started out as strangers,
walking side by side,
Found love like a summer storm,
wide-eyed and mystified.
But seasons turn, and so did we,
beneath the same old sky,
Now we're just two passersby,
with no tears left to cry.
CHORUS:
STRANGERS AGAIN,
on this old country road,
Walking through the memories,
our dreams have all been sold.
Two strangers with their secrets,
in the cold light of day,
We lost what we once had,
it has all just slipped away.
Your laugh used to light up
my darkest nights,
Now just echoes from a time
when we both thought things were right.
We shared our hearts,
our beds, our woes,
But now we share a silence
that only grows.
CHORUS:
STRANGERS AGAIN,
on this old country road,
Walking through the memories,
our dreams have all been sold.
Two strangers with their secrets,
in the cold light of day,
We lost what we once had,
it has all just slipped away.
I thought love was forever,
thought this one was true,
But here we stand, divided,
in the morning dew.
I miss the friend, the lover,
my heart's twin flame,
Now I whisper your name to a stranger,
what a shame.
Will you ever wonder how a love
like this went wrong?
When you're wandering through life,
will you hear our song?
It was a melody of a love
that once burned so bright,
Then it became a shadow
fading into night.
CHORUS:
STRANGERS AGAIN,
on this old country road,
Walking through the memories,
our dreams have all been sold.
Two strangers with their secrets,
in the cold light of day,
We lost what we once had,
it has all just slipped away.

Took a while but I've come to repay your kind visit a few days ago. Thanks so much for your kind words. Much appreciated
"Found love like a summer storm,
wide-eyed and mystified."
In songs, you have to say so much with your pen in your pocket. There's a lot of story compacted into those lines.
