In my sleep I feel you
Taking place all around me
And inside my soul
And my heart doesn’t want to let it go

Whenever you are not near
I ache for your warmth and care
The only things I’ve ever known
To exist with someone who also exists

--------

Sorry I’ve been a stranger
To not just your heart, but both
I wished for you to talk to me
But I realized that it was I who shied away

Sorry I’ve been a stranger
In both this life and the last
Why else would I feel the emptiness
That you can only feel when having emotional abortion?

I nearly died after that spiel
And it wasn’t pleasant being reimbursed
Because even though I missed you during the revolution
It was the stranger who caused this mess

The stranger, oh! the stranger, indeed
I’m guilty of a crime I never knew I committed
When I thought you were at fault
It was really I who was to blame

I’m back now,
And I hope you know it
Will you welcome the once-stranger again?
I’m coming back with a bouquet of lilies

Enough to tell you how sorry I am
For walking out of the house you built
For casting off what you felt in secrets of the earth
For as long as you tried to reconcile

Whatever happened between us has gone away
In the melting pot I call my mind
What did happen to our love?
What forced us to grow apart?

…

I’m sorry for being a stranger
For messing up what I never thought was real
I’m sorry, so sorry
For being a stranger to what we both feel.
