Smiling at Strangers on Trains Million Dead

[Verse]
It was the strangest thing today
I saw new footprints in abandoned pathways
Beneath forgotten undergrowth something stirring again
You were a single red blood cell but I lost you in the knot of capillaries
But you were bringing me oxygen when I needed it most in the smoke

[Pre-Chorus]
And you were always
And you were always
And you were always
And you were always

[Chorus]
As far as Mongolia
As close as my clothes
Your presence pervading
But it still never shows
As close as the answer I never quite know
Or I can't quite remember
Your distance insidious
As soft as a blow
Your shadow is with me wherever I go
It's on the tip of my tongue but still I never quite know
Or I can't quite remember
I don't quite remember
