Anna von Hausswolff – Stranger
We’re walking in a curved line into something new
The birds are watching every step I take
Beneath the stars, beneath the moon, there is a hole
It’s covered up in darkness and fear
But then, there is something moving against me
It’s not in line with the world I know
Changing the heart, changing the spirit
Changing my path, changing my soul
My sight is clear, the colors are expanding
I don’t frown in the mirror, on the world
There is no time, there is no face, there is no me
I am following a shadow while I’m reaching for the sun
But then you tell me I shouldn’t worry
You tell me to stay strong
You tell me I shouldn’t worry
Why is the stranger in sync with my heart?
I tip toe here, I don’t want you to see me
I’m listening, I’m stolen by every word you say
A dream is pulling out my heart and spirit
And I’m scared to fall, I’m scared of death
And I’m scared of all the lies
But then you tell me, oh, I shouldn’t worry
Oh, you tell me to stay strong
You tell me I shouldn’t worry
We’re living now, let’s live now
Let’s live only for love
