MYRIAD OF STRANGERS
VERSE
As a kid I’d lots of friends right next door and ‘round the bend.
Where’d they go?
Aging seemed to scatter us. Like some wispy clouds of dust
We have flown.
CHORUS
I’m stranded in a myriad of strangers. They don’t introduce themselves to me.
They avoid me like I pose them danger. I’m so lonely.
VERSE
I once knew a woman who
Whispered softly, “I love you.”
Where’s she gone?
She had waited for a while,
But when I’d not seen the aisle
She moved on.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Standing on the outside looking in, Pining for companionship
Not merely sport of skin.
CHORUS
VERSE
Longing as I scour the sky,
Searching for a reason why
This is true.
Stars reveal no history.
Life remains a mystery
I’ve no clue.
