Stranger

(Album: Secret Messages - 1983)

On a cold and windy morning, said goodbye to my old friends
They were hanging around the corner,
They were staying till the end

On the other side of midnight,
I was looking for a place to stay
And one thing's sure for certain,
I ain't never going back again

The streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town
I was looking for another sundown
And my head was spinning round and round

[Chorus:]
Looking through the eyes of a stranger
Looking through the eyes of danger
Looking at the all-night dancer
Never taking all the chances

As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playing and I saw you standing there

[Chorus]

Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight
