Stranger Lyrics
On a cold and windy morning
Said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin' around the corner
They were stayin' till the end, till the endOn 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, no moreThe streetlights looked so pretty
As they spread into a town
I was lookin' for another sundown
And my head was spinnin' round and round
Round and roundLookin' through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm looking through the eyes)
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
(I'm looking through the eyes)
Never takin' all the chances
Of a strangerAs I walked into the main street
Saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playin'
And I saw you standing there, standing thereLookin' through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm looking through the eyes)
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
(I'm looking through the eyes)
Never takin' all the chances
Of a strangerDistant bells they started ringing
Somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness
That disappeared from sightLookin' through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm looking through the eyes)
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
(I'm looking through the eyes)
Never takin' all the chances
Of a stranger, lookin' through the eyes of a strangerI am never going back
Never going back
