Two strangers passing on the sidewalk
Barely brush each other's hand
He says "I'm sorry"
She says "Don't worry"
And that is how it all began
A few short days and night together
And it's like they were meant to be
Lying there with her he softly whispers
Just think what we were so recently
Strangers, strangers
The world greatest lovers
Last week we were strangers
Two strangers passing in the hallway
Barely touch each other's heart
Now they're pretending
Two shadows blending
But they're a million miles apart
Soon she'll be packing up her suitcase
They'll be dividing all the blame
They know how they started
Now empty hearted
They don't have a clue how they became
Strangers, strangers
The world greatest lovers
And now they are strangers
The world's greatest lovers
Have turned into strangers
Strangers, strangers
Barely brush each other's hand
He says "I'm sorry"
She says "Don't worry"
And that is how it all began
A few short days and night together
And it's like they were meant to be

They don't have a clue how they became
Strangers, strangers
The world greatest lovers
And now they are strangers
The world's greatest lovers
Have turned into strangers
Strangers, strangers
Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No upendo remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame
I saw your face when
He waltzed in here
But those old embers
Haven't burned for years
The light that's shining
In my eyes
Is for the one that
I'm with tonight
Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No upendo remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame
No I don't blame you
For having some doubts
But when he left me
That moto burned out
So don't be thinking
There's still a spark
'Cause he could never
Tear us apart
Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No upendo remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No upendo remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes

When wewe are old and tired and gray
Wear wewe overcoat on sunny days
When your brave tales have all been told
I'll ask for them when wewe are old
When wewe are old and full of sleep
And death no longer makes wewe weep
When your body aches with cold
I'll warm your moyo when wewe are old
You'll still be the same to me
A comfort and a mystery
And I will be old too see
I'll need someone to comfort me
When wewe are old and pale and gone
And a gentle hand is all wewe want
I will give wewe mine to hold
And I'll be here when wewe are old
Yes I will give wewe mine to hold
And I'll be here when wewe are old
Wear wewe overcoat on sunny days
When your brave tales have all been told
I'll ask for them when wewe are old
When wewe are old and full of sleep
And death no longer makes wewe weep
When your body aches with cold
I'll warm your moyo when wewe are old
You'll still be the same to me
A comfort and a mystery
And I will be old too see
I'll need someone to comfort me
When wewe are old and pale and gone
And a gentle hand is all wewe want
I will give wewe mine to hold
And I'll be here when wewe are old
Yes I will give wewe mine to hold
And I'll be here when wewe are old
He sits all alone in his easy chair
Staring back on his Lost yesterdays
Long before he encountered the bottle
And the demons that drove her away
In his hand he is holding her photograph
Her image all tear-stained and worn
Tonight he's embracing reality
And he curses the siku he was born
And the darkness still echoes her warning
wewe can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the siku that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
Since the saa that she left he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her upendo for a drink
And the darkness still echoes her warning
wewe can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the siku that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
Staring back on his Lost yesterdays
Long before he encountered the bottle
And the demons that drove her away
In his hand he is holding her photograph
Her image all tear-stained and worn
Tonight he's embracing reality
And he curses the siku he was born
And the darkness still echoes her warning
wewe can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the siku that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
Since the saa that she left he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her upendo for a drink
And the darkness still echoes her warning
wewe can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the siku that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The way wewe treat me baby
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Yeah wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Well wewe think that wewe don't need me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
wewe say that upendo can't touch you
wewe feel no pain at all
wewe think that you're above it baby
But I believe you'll fall
'Cause wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Yeah wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Well you'll get down on wewe knees baby
Begging me to come back home
wewe tell me you'll find someone else
But no one's gonna care
'Cause wewe have left a trail
Of broken hearts everywhere
Now wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Yeah wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Well you'll know just how it feels baby
When you're left here all alone
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Yeah wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Well wewe think that wewe don't need me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
wewe say that upendo can't touch you
wewe feel no pain at all
wewe think that you're above it baby
But I believe you'll fall
'Cause wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Yeah wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Well you'll get down on wewe knees baby
Begging me to come back home
wewe tell me you'll find someone else
But no one's gonna care
'Cause wewe have left a trail
Of broken hearts everywhere
Now wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Yeah wewe got moyo trouble comin' on
Well you'll know just how it feels baby
When you're left here all alone
I tried to hold our upendo together
But wewe let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else
Taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same
I'm not aching like I should
'Cause loving wewe has hurt so bad
That losing wewe feels good
I know you'll come back running to me
When the thrill is dead and gone
And wewe realize the upendo wewe need
Was right here all along
When wewe try to restore what we had before
There's no way wewe ever could
'Cause loving wewe has hurt so bad
That losing wewe feels good
Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold wewe every night
But my moyo can't take another break
When there's no relief in sight
I guess you're wonderin' why I haven't cried
'Cause usually I would
But loving wewe has hurt so bad
That losing wewe feels good
If there was a way to make wewe stay
I wouldn't if I could
'Cause loving wewe has hurt so bad
That losing wewe feels good
But wewe let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else
Taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same
I'm not aching like I should
'Cause loving wewe has hurt so bad
That losing wewe feels good
I know you'll come back running to me
When the thrill is dead and gone
And wewe realize the upendo wewe need
Was right here all along
When wewe try to restore what we had before
There's no way wewe ever could
'Cause loving wewe has hurt so bad

Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold wewe every night
But my moyo can't take another break

If there was a way to make wewe stay
I wouldn't if I could
'Cause loving wewe has hurt so bad
