The Seventh Stranger

Those words are all remainders

Echos growing in the heart of twilight

They lay back laughing at naivety's star.

Awaken all those whispers,

The dusty shadow of a passing favour

I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right

I couldn't see from so far.

Was I chasing after rainbows?

One thing for sure, you never answered when I called.

And I wiped away the water from my face

To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

In the eyes of the stranger

Can't tell the real from reflection

When all these faces look the same to me

In every city such a desolate dream.

Some days are strange to number

Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger

A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by

I could have sworn in one evening.

And I'm not seized in desperation,

No steel reproaches on the table from before.

But I still can feel those splinters of ice

I look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

In the eyes of the stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows

One thing for sure - you never answered when I called.

And I wiped away the water from my face

To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

Walking away like a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

In the eyes of the stranger

In the eyes of the stranger

In the eyes of the stranger

In the eyes of the stranger
