at the water's edge where we both still believed
and it was easy to see who we are
and these hands never stop, you were a dreamer by trade
overtime and underpaid, a machine that we've wrought
and you can hear in the street in the shape of a 'v'
Canadian geese fly
and when you whispered the secret i knew what you'd mean
that you were destined to be alive
isn't it strange that we can live our whole life
inside a dream trying to fly without wings
trying to die to be free
isn't it strange
and life has a way of slipping far out of reach
and we keep falling asleep
and the money won't keep us afloat for too long
so we can only go on
but i can pray we've been wrong
isn't it strange that we can live our whole life
inside a dream trying to fly without wings
trying to die to be free
isn't it strange that we can live our life
inside
trying to love our machines
loving to leave our instincts behind
isn't it strange
