This is to the stranger who passed me the other day

While I was sitting wasting away

On a New York park bench

You said some things on the phone

I couldn′t catch 'em all

But I hope your mom′s feeling well

Hear the sirens and walk away

Forget to think of you one day

I'll be somewhere

Somewhere too far to understand

Your phantom cry

That shakes the land

Like I care

What a strange thing

To think

You passed by

How fortuitous

Everything seems to be

Aligned

For a moment

How miraculous

Hear the sirens and walk away

Forget to think of you one day

I'll be somewhere

Somewhere too far to understand

Your phantom cry

That shakes the land

Like I care

Like I care
