Strangers in Passing

[Verse 1]
Footsteps echo down the avenue,
Faces flicker like candlelight view.
Eyes that linger, just for a breath,
Then turn away, lost to the rest.

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe we met in another time,
A past unspoken, a fate unsigned.
A fleeting whisper, a nameless tune,
Gone too soon…

[Chorus]
We are strangers in passing, shadows that fade,
Lost in the current, yet somehow we stayed.
A silent refrain in the hum of the street,
A song never sung, but still incomplete.

[Solo - Cello & Guitar, 4 bars, soft, introspective]

[Verse 2]
A smile half-formed, a glance too brief,
A moment caught in the cracks of belief.
Your story echoes behind closed eyes,
Yet we let it slip like the morning sky.

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe we met in another time,
A past unspoken, a fate unsigned.
A fleeting whisper, a nameless tune,
Gone too soon…

[Chorus]
We are strangers in passing, shadows that fade,
Lost in the current, yet somehow we stayed.
A silent refrain in the hum of the street,
A song never sung, but still incomplete.

[Solo 2 – Cello lead, guitar arpeggios, quiet but emotional.)

[Bridge - Soft, Nearly Spoken, Introspective]
Who were you before you turned away?
A friend I lost? A love astray?
Or just a life that brushed my own,
Before the night pulled us back home…

[Final Chorus]
We are strangers in passing, ghosts in the night,
Woven together in flickering light.
A silent refrain in the hum of the street,
A song never sung, but still incomplete…

[Outro - Extended, Slow Fade, Haunting, Deeply Emotional]
Footsteps echo, then disappear,
Another stranger… another year.
A face forgotten, a name unknown,
But still, I wonder… still, I roam.

[Final cello Outro - Lngering, slow melody, fading into silence. The guitar softly fingerpicks a final unresolved chord, leaving an open-ended feel, as if the story continues beyond the song]


-- Pradeep K (Prady)


Style: 
Soulful rock, D Minor, gentle arpeggios between verses, sustained chords in chorus, deep expressive male vocal, haunting.
