"Strangers" lyrics

If you say you'll be mine forever
Then we'll go down to yonder river
And when we're there I will declare
We'll last until the end

And everything that lies before us
The opening verse, the final chorus
Will seek to trace our hiding place
And greet us as a friend

I'm so afraid of dying lonely
I swear to God I'll love you only

Where are the make-believers?
What was foretold?
Where are tomorrow's children?
Are they growing old?

I can't die not knowing
Where I will go
We are just hopeless strangers
Wandering the road

I used to hold that every story
Would start in tears and end in glory
But I've read so many stories now
I know that's not the way

I've strayed away from good intentions
More often than I care to mention
And it seems at times, I've left behind
The songs of yesterday

I'm so afraid of dying lonely
I swear to God I'll love you only

Where are the make-believers?
What was foretold?
Where are tomorrow's children?
Are they growing old?

I can't die not knowing
Where I will go
We are just hopeless strangers
Wandering the road

We are just hopeless strangers
Wandering the road
