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
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
(repeat chorus)
walking away like a stranger
