you know me as a stranger

Cry Me a Bridge

In the park I saw an average-looking angel,

And her eye was pointing at mine.

I mustered up all of my blood and said,

All the best people are foreign,

From the far side of somewhere else.

If I dig my own grave,

Will you dance with me?

There is no one around here I know.


She said, I’d rather not have my own opinions,

But I can’t stand the silence of stars,

And I can never get used to being born.

Finality just doesn’t sit well.

All I feel is this wind in my eyes.

So if I cry you a river,

Will you cry me a bridge?

I think everyone needs somewhere to go.
