(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)

 Can you remember remember my name
  As I flow through your life
  A thousand oceans I have flown
  And cold spirits of ice
  All my life
  I am the echo of your past

  I am returning the echo of a point in time
  Distant faces shine
  A thousand warriors I have known
  And laughing as the spirits appear
  All your life
  Shadows of another day

  And if you hear me talking on the wind
  You've got to understand
  We must remain
  Perfect Strangers

  I know I must remain inside this silent
    well of sorrow

  A strand of silver hanging through the
    sky
  Touching more than you see
  The voice of ages in your mind
  Is aching with the dead of the night
  Precious life (your tears are lost in
    falling rain)

  And if you hear me talking on the wind
  You've got to understand
  We must remain
  Perfect Strangers
