Simple Minds

Tell me why
Do you know what were looking for?
Any truth in the rumours I ignore?
Tell me why, I still deny?
Anytime secrets, in every sound
I can keep my feet up off the ground
I'm in the air, reeling everywhere
There's something new and I must say
It makes me feel so super real. Just look and you'll find
We are drifting through space and time

Stranger, beautiful stranger
Come tell me if you are, the silent star, Explain!
Stranger, beautiful stranger
I wonder if you are the silent star
Explain

Tell me why, do you know what we're looking for?
Any truth in the rumours I ignore?
Then tell me why I still deny?

Summertime
Winter
Moonlight
And the Sun
I get the feeling this has just begun
And yet it feels so super real
Look and you'll find
We are moving through space and time

Tell me who you are
Tell me who you are
