The Stranger
Who is that stranger looking back at me
with head atilt and wonder in her eyes?
She mimics all my movements perfectly,
she's hard to recognize in her disguise.
With head atilt and wonder in her eyes, Repeated
she seems familiar in a strange, weird way.
She's hard to recognize in her disguise, Repeated
is she a friend I knew well yesterday?
She seems familiar in a strange, weird way. Repeated
She's older far than me, or so it seems.

Perhaps I met her somewhere in my dreams.
She's older far than me, or so it seems. Repeated
She mimics all my movements perfectly.
Perhaps I met her somewhere in my dreams, Repeated
who is that stranger looking back at me?
