A stranger wrote my name
In the snow with her hair
A stranger left her mark
In place to show she cared

I doubt I'll ever hear again
In the snow or in the sun
Strangers walk into my life
A leave richer than they come

Another stranger smiled my name
Across the street to say
They knew what this was like
They know this is the way

I'll never know the depths
Of the marks that bear my name
I'm only left to hope and guess
Theirs in me will do the same
