"A STRANGER"


  Cobwebs and tumbleweeds, traces of life and the past,


  A forgotten road not so often traveled, not anymore.


  Where do they go, the ones we once knew and walked with,


  More and more they become ghosts, faded faces from 
  Yesterday.

  Time slips away slowly Into my tomorrow where my  
  Memories Are found,

  Friends' are now strangers, strangers are now my 
  friends.

  There once lived a woman who I did not know, she lived her 
  Life without me,

  In her there was not a thought of me, for me she had 
  No meaning.

  This stranger that I had not met would someday be the 
  Love a man could not forget,

  Like the wind forever blowing, she has drifted, a 
  Stranger I never knew.

  Where did you go! where did you go! A stranger I love, 
  A woman I'll never know.
