  And listen f

            
or a while.
           
  And there sh

ng girl,
             
  A stranger t

   
o my eyes.

[Verse]
           
  She sang as 

 
if she knew me
          
  In all my da

't there.
           
  But she was 

 
very stranger,
           
  Singing clea

         
r and strong.
