The Stranger in Your Voice - The Associates

Here we are for always

For what always knows is all

Funny how we all respond

To our private call

Snug in leather trenchcoats

Braving braver skies

Falling down upon us

From the bridge of sighs

Where all you need is disappointment

To end all your disappointments

Here we are for always

In this citadom of dust

Feel the desert settle down

Feel the desert hushed

Buried with its riches

I’m not one to preach

But all that I can ever say

Is that I’m here to reach

And all we need is disappointment

To end all our disappointments

The stranger in your voice sings songs

You’ve never heard before

The shadow of a legionnaire

Who’s here to even scores

Exiled in a dreamworld

North south east and west

From where I’m standing I can see

Love triumphs by request

Where all you need is disappointment

To end all your disappointments

Laws of nature laws of time

I’m painfully aware

The many friends I’ve left behind

Who said I haven’t cared?

Educate your emotions

Throw away your books

If we can walk this tightrope

It’s best that we don’t look

All you need is disappointment

To end all your disappointments
