| In the city where my father died
|
| I find it very hard to hide
|
| So many days gone by but I
|
| Let it slide
|
| Famine, ignorance and war
|
| I keep just outside my door
|
| It’s me, myself and I and I
|
| Let it slide
|
| I let it slide
|
| But down at the sacred heart
|
| Everyone plays someone else’s part
|
| The strangers and their rose
|
| Pray for people they don’t know
|
| Just strangers in the sacred heart
|
| A man alone can’t crack the code
|
| In dreams and streets I somehow know
|
| Me feet take me where I need to go
|
| They just slide
|
| Just gotta let it slide
|
| Down to the sacred heart
|
| Everyone plays someone else’s part
|
| The strangers and their rose
|
| Pray for people they don’t know
|
| Just strangers in the sacred heart
|
| In another mother’s tongue
|
| The universal bell is rung
|
| Haven’t done enough for no one
|
| Haven’t done enough for no one
|
| Haven’t done enough
|
| So this is where I’ll pay my dues
|
| Anonymous in the ancient pews
|
| In Sacré-Cœur, I lost my pride
|
| I let it die
|
| Just couldn’t let it slide
|
| That’s how to mend your heart
|
| Paying someone else’s part
|
| The nameless and their rose
|
| Pray for people they don’t know
|
| Just strangers in the sacred heart
|
| I’m a stranger in the sacred heart |
