Perfect strangers

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover and Ian Gillan

Can you remember... remember my name?
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown ooh
And cold... cold spirits of ice ah ah
All my life
I am the echo of your past

I am returning the echo of a point in time
And distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known ooh
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day

If you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain perfect strangers

Auh I know I must remain
Inside this silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind ooh
Is aching with the dead of the night
Oouh precious life
Your tears are lost in falling rain

And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain perfect strangers...
