All THOSE YEARS AGO
WHEN I LEFT THESE ROLLING HILLS
I NEVER LOOKED BACK
AS YOU THOUGHT I WOULD
AND YOU ARE STILL THERE
JUST WAITING FOR ME TO COME HOME
YOU'VE WASTED SO MUCH TIME
DESTINED TO DIE ALONE
AS YOU WALK BY
DON'T TAKE A SECOND GLANCE
I'M A PERFECT STRANGER
JUST PASSING THROUGH
I'VE BURNED EVERY BRIDGE BEHIND ME
AND I STILL DO TO THIS DAY
I JUST DON'T CARE, I'LL FIND ANOTHER WAY
AND LIFE'S TOO SHORT NOW TO EVER BE LOOKING BACK
WITH EMPTY SENTIMENTS
DOWN MILES OF RUSTING, DISUSED TRACK
NOW AS YOU WALK BY
DON'T TAKE A SECOND GLANCE AT ME
I'M A PERFECT STRANGER
JUST PASSING THROUGH
I SOMETIMES WONDER IF I HAVE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE
BUT ALL I CAN DO IS STAND HERE
WATCHING ENDLESS STRANGERS PASS BY
AND YOU ARE NOWHERE TO BE SEEN
SO I TURN MY BACK AND I QUIETLY LEAVE
THERE'S NO STORYBOOK ENDINg
NO PRODIGAL SON RETURNS
