Lyrics
I'm Just Another Unknown
Music and Lyrics by Lynda Dobbin-Turner
Chorus
The relentless wind
Pulls the sand from my bones
As it howls and spins
Here where I lie alone
No one I love
Will ever know I'm here
Those that know don't care
I'm just another unknown
V1
Sun and time
Have bleached these bones of mine to white
They cast an eerie glow
In the pail moonlight
When they rise up to the surface
Now and then
A stranger comes along and covers them with sand
Chorus
But the relentless wind
Pulls the sand from my bones
As it howls and spins
Here where I lie alone
No one I love
Will ever know I'm here
Those that know don't care
I'm just another unknown
V2
I've been lying here now
For so long
The world I left behind
Is dead and gone
The ones who put me here now
Matter not
I'm just another soul
This old world forgot
Bridge
And nothing's really changed
Over the years
No one bats an eye, when folks like I
Just up and disappear
Chorus
The relentless wind
Pulls the sand from my bones
As it howls and spins
Here where I lie alone
No one I love
Will ever know I'm here
Those that know don't care
I'm just another unknown
Those that know don't care
I'm just another unknown
