Zwaremetalen239: Some Kind of Stranger (Sisters of Mercy)

The last and most striking track from their 'First and Last and Always' album:

[Part I]

[Verse 1]

And yes, I believe in what we had

But words got in the way

And only yesterday, as I was leaving

Lord knows I tried to say

But I've heard a million conversations

Going where they've been before

Seen the way that careful lingers

Undecided at the door

[Chorus]

And all I know for sure

All I know for realIs knowing doesn't mean so much

When placed against the feeling

The heat inside

When bodies meet

When fingers touch

[Verse 2]

All of my words are secondhand and

Useless in the face of this

Rationale and rhyme and reason

Pale beside a single kiss

And I've heard so many things I

Fail to understand at all

I'd settle anytime for

Unknown footsteps in the hall outside

[Chorus]

And all I know for sure

All I know for real

Is knowing doesn't mean so much

When placed against the feeling

The heat inside

When bodies meet

When fingers touch

[Part II]

[Verse 3]

Because the world is cruel

And promises are broken

Don't try to tell me

Anything, don't try to tell me

You'll be true to me, you know the

Real truth is never spoken

[Verse 4]

And I know the world is cold, but

If you hold on tight to what you find

You might not mind too much

Though even this must pass away and

Memories may last for years, but

Names are just for souvenirs

Some kind of angel let me

Look into your eyes

[Verse 5]

Don't give me whys and wherefores

Reason for surprise

I don't care for words that don't belong

And I don't care what you're called

Tell me later, if at all

I can wait a long, long time

Before I hear another love song

[Chorus]
