Intro: Dm  G

Dm                             G
Can you remember, remember my name?
                  Dm
As I flow through your life
                     G
A thousand oceans I have flown
Oh-oh-oh
Am         Am    C        Am   Am  C
And cold, cold spirits of ice, ah, ah
Am         Am    C        Am
All my life
         Am            Am    Dm    G
I am the echo of your past

Dm                                     G
I am returning the echo of a point in time
                    Dm
And distant faces shine
                       G
A thousand warriors I have known
Oh, oh-oh-oh
     Am     Am        C        Am   Am  C
And laughing as the spirits appear
Am         Am    C     Am
All your life
  Am                Am   F
Shadows of another day

Chorus:
C                           Dm
 And if you hear me talking on the wind
              G
You've got to understand
           Dm             C        G
We must remain perfect strangers

    G     F#     F      E
I know I must remain inside
      C      B       Dm
This silent well of sorrow

Dm  G

Dm                                       G
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
                       Dm
Touching more than you see
                      G
The voice of ages in your mind, oh-oh-oh
Am         Am       C           Am
Is aching with the dead of the night
Am C  Am   Am          C   Am
Oh-uh-oh, precious life
 Am                             Am   F
Your tears are lost in falling rain

Chorus:
C                           Dm
 And if you hear me talking on the wind
              G
You've got to understand
           Dm             C        G
We must remain perfect strangers
