Forever Strangers

I've seen your picture It's in the news today They had just told you Your love had passed away Peggy's cove is a quiet and romantic place 60 people usually live there The scenery now has changed in a tragical way Hollywood reporters live on air A thousand questions still remain The voice-recorder can't explain Why him? Why did he have to take part in this flight? Why her? Did she ever cause trouble? Peggy's cove - the most frightful place tonight When you're alone and the ones you loved are gone I read the news and I saw your eyes Your look has touched me deep inside I wish you strength tonight Strangers - We must be forever strangers Don't look inside Passengers on earth - We try to change it From heaven into hell We live our lives - In pride and danger You're on my mind, but Strangers - We will be forever strangers Don't try to break the spell I've read your story It's in the news today Looking back - what kind of life did you have Looking back - was it all worth it? From 24 to a far too early death Suffering from pain and from distress Living in another world Break the limits, stop the hurt Life can be absurd (And I wish I'd known you) I know you well or at least I thought I did I am familiar with fame and failure And I was there when you cried just a little bit You loved the wrong one and I could have saved you But then you're miles and miles away You are tomorrow and I am today I'm here today I have a picture of you inside my head I'd rather paint somebody else instead [Words & Music : S.
