Like a hammer making the iron glow
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't shape you, no
Oblivious we were cooling down
Our days were loaned
I was moving like a sinking stone

I was a stranger to someone who knew me
Though they could recognise my face
Couldn't escape to all my dreaming
So left my body in the waste
But I've been thinking about you, stranger

Kept on looking for some room to spare
Found a dozen others buried there
Asked for logic from the unsneering they said I should know
There are other ways for me to go

I was a stranger to someone who knew me
Though they could recognise my face
Couldn't escape to all my dreaming
So left my body in the waste
But I've been thinking about you, stranger

I couldn't shape you
No I couldn't shape you, no
