Strange Encounter

Have you ever read the books you burn
Have you seen the man in the moon
Show a driver a blur of green
Grass he'll say, but has he seen
Last night late from work
I met a girl who asked these things
She seemed to be
A whisper on the wind
The fragrance of memories past
Made me cry out loud at last
The dry leaves whirled the air
Made me ask for what
I care! And for the moment
I was free again
The life I led
Was emptied from my head
Strange life is this
That light shines in
From another's heart
One can be reborn
