- Stranger Lyrics / with translationsOn a cold and windy morning, said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin' around the corner,
They were stayin' till the end
On the other side of midnight,
I was lookin' for a place to stay
And one thing's sure for certain,
I ain't never goin' back again
The streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town
I was lookin' for another sundown
And my head was spinning round and round
Chorus:
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
Never takin' all the chances
As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playin' and I saw you standing there
Repeat Chorus:
Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight
They were hangin' around the corner,
They were stayin' till the end
On the other side of midnight,
I was lookin' for a place to stay
And one thing's sure for certain,
I ain't never goin' back again
The streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town
I was lookin' for another sundown
And my head was spinning round and round
Chorus:
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
Never takin' all the chances
As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playin' and I saw you standing there
Repeat Chorus:
Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight
