Strangers

You and I danced closer than our shadows to the ground Closer than our laughter to the sound And you knew me even better then Than I even know me now And I can't believe that we were ever strangers We come into this world naked as the girl above the bar Spend our lifetimes wondering who we are Then someone comes along and they know our heart by heart And I can't believe that we were ever strangers Ever strangers Ever strangers You and I danced closer than the trumpet to the vine Closer than the couplet to the rhyme I know there was a time before but I cannot bring it to mind And I can't believe that we were ever strangers I just can't believe that we were ever strangers --- Strangers - Josh Ritter
