Anthony Phillips Stranger (demo)
[From the CD of Private Parts & Pieces] Now that you don't know me Is it gone, forever past? Now my rock has crumbled In the stormy winter blast Now the world is darkening As I watch the farewell train Though once she spoke within me Strange, may never see you again... Now the wind is asking How a rock so firm can fall Then the breeze, hear murmurs She rose not, so saved his call Now the leaves are rustling Do I hear them speak her name? That waits round every corner Strange, may never see you again... Little girl, lilty lilac Autumn queen by this quiet brook Once she lay breathing softly Now I watch the ashes burn A stranger who may not return Rose with the dawn, say you'll long at morning time Take this shining moment Treasure it through joy and sorrow When you hold, untie and unroll it Open it, a voice will sigh, a memory that went drifting by Upon the tide that swept you from my side Now the bells are calling I must tread the homeward track Leave all whispering ripples For the next part I must die Who I gave the whole world She remembers not my name That star beneath the bright lights Strange, may never see you again... Strange, may never see you again... Again...
