Strangers - Piers Faccini

Sunset shimmers behind the distant plains

Ink drops bursting into a fiery stain

For one instant suspended against the blue

Until the curtain fell and the day was through

I heard a muffled scream come from a broken down shack

Then an engine start but i didn’t turn back

One man’s poison can take another man’s ground

But sooner or later we all go down

Love has brought us love will take us

Whether the cards are for us or stacked against us

Crooked time will weave it’s spell

And wave you on before you’ll say farewell

When one soul steps on another man’s road

That soul’s burden became another man’s load

Remorse comes after the deed is done

But in the end we all just have to run

We’re all strangers upon this land

Covering up the trouble we’ve found

We’re all strangers upon this land

Reaching up til we all come down

We’re all that sunset flowing red

We’re all that blood that blow to the head

Whose footsteps lie there in the clay

Who pulled the trigger and got away

One man’s love can be another man’s hate

But when the coin is flipped it never comes too late

Lives are lost and decisions made

But in the end all of our debts get paid

Someone somewhere is wounded does any one care at all?

Someone somewhere needs you to help them up when they fall

We’re all strangers upon this land

Covering up the trouble we’ve found

We’re all strangers upon this land

Reaching up til we all come down

Someone somewhere lights a candle flame

For those that left that never came

Others sleep easy til the dawn

Somewhere up there another day is born

We’re all strangers upon this land

Covering up the trouble we’ve found

We’re all strangers upon this land

Reaching up til we all come down
