Strangers Lyrics by Sinking Ships (UK)

The Cinema Clock and Other Stories

1980

[Verse 1]
Is there someone who can understand
The things that he says?
And there was something he once said to me
A long time ago
Something I never quite understood
Something that seemed so strange
[Chorus]
It seems a long time ago
Such a long time ago
And will things ever change?
No, things don't ever change
[Verse 2]
Distances mean nothing to him now
He can take his time
The faces all pass him by and he smiles
He pauses for a while
I stayed up late for you last night
I waited all through the night
[Chorus]
It seems a long time ago
Such a long time ago
[Verse 2]
Distances mean nothing to him now
He can take his time
The faces all pass him by and he smiles
He pauses for a while
I stayed up late for you last night
I waited all through the night
[Chorus]
It seems a long time ago
Such a long time ago
It seems a long time ago
Such a long time ago
