If We Were Strangers - Northcote

What if we never met?

What if we were strangers?

If I saw you at a distance

Would you have anything to say?

I heard you creeping around my corner

I heard you washing in the river

There was a ripple in our reflection

What if we were strangers?

When Autumn arrives, I’ll go out singing

And with each line we’ll go longing

For someone to come and be my demons

So I could give but not expect to be repaid

'cause I have borrowed chords and tired eyes

Seen the left coast and the east skies

And there was a ripple in our reflection

What if we were strangers?

What if we were strangers?
