The Seventh Stranger

Those words are all remainders, echoes growing in the heart of twilight They lay back laughing at naivety 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 F 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 rumours 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 a stranger Can't tell the real from reflection When all these faces look the same to me In ev'ry city such a desolate dream Some days are strange to numbers 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 be- fore But I still can feel those splinters of ice I look through the eyes of a stranger Repete Refrão ...walking away like a stranger
