STRANGERS

They passed as distant strangers on the train back to his home                               no flicker of recognition in the crowd they were alone.                                                                       Boy and girl too young to be lovers they never had a plan                                             this lady once a girl, the boy not yet a man.                                                         Chorus :    That’s the way it was before                                                                                           it’s just not that way now.                                                                                            Each face without expression the time had passed them by                                      no future and no destiny nor need to say goodbye.                                          Childhood turned to adulthood until now they’d never met                                                                their lifetimes more important it was easy to forget.                                                 Chorus :    That’s the way it was back then                                                                                                         it’s just not that way now.
