Lyrics ‧͙⁺♪♬˚*･༓

I saw your mind die once
And your body will go one day
We see the ghost who walks
Mowing the lawn when the day is grey

Like the sky your colour drained
Your memory fading away
But we just smile through the pain
The only way to keep sane

We’re just strangers
Walking on by
I’m afraid of
Losing my mind
Memory failure
Has made you fade
But my memory of you grows daily

Petals on the floor
They’re all yours
Watched you wilt away as years rolled on
Nothing could be done
We saw it coming
Dementia it runs in blood 

We’d laugh when you fell asleep at the table
But now there’s tears as you’re falling to the floor
And your dear love
She holds your hand tight
As she recites the stories of your life

I can’t get my head round the concept
That you’re so vulnerable like Benjamin Button
Every once a while
Your eyes light up, you smile
Confusion blurs you finding words
But you feel the love 

We’re just strangers
Walking on by
I’m afraid of
Losing my mind
Memory failure
Has made you fade
But my memory of you grows daily

Do you know my name or her name
Do you remember my face or his face
I don’t know
All I know is you’re safe in this place
Even when we’re just

Strangers
Walking on by
I’m afraid of
Losing my mind
Memory failure
Took you from us
But my memory of you grows daily
