Somebody I Know

I could watch the clouds for hours and never need to know their names
 Listen to the birds put our words and toils to shame
 See two strangers passing on the street be forever changed
 Just by one kind word or a winking eye
 I've been living in my mind too long
 Making small talk so my lonely heart don't show
 Sinking into the slow moving dream of life
 Won't you come and go with me
 Seeking moonlight and mystery
 We'll haunt the hidden places like the embers in the afterglow
 In a world of strangers and stranger things
 Could you be somebody I know?
 I don't want to die, where the sleeping dogs lie
 Where the silence is stronger than stone
 If I have to wander through the lightning and the thunder
 Must I always go alone?
 I've been getting by on the bottom line
 Can't get up or over but it ain't for lack of trying
 Making trouble outta nothing, but no one wants to hear about that
 Will these tired eyes let in the light?
 Remind me of something I've known all along deep down inside
 Some kind of truth behind all these lies we've been told
 In a world of strangers and stranger things
 Could you be somebody I know?
 The bright lights will catch us and pass on by
 And we'll watch them as they go
 In a world of strangers and stranger things
 Could you be somebody I know?
