Stranger

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