Duran Duran - The Seventh Stranger lyrics

rate me

Those words are all remainders Echoes growing in the heart of twilight They lay back laughing at naivety's star Awaken all those whispers in 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 reflections When all these faces look the same to me In every city such a desolate dream Some days are strange to number 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 before But I still can feel those splinters of ice I 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 I must be chasing after rainbows One thing for sure you never answer when I call And I wipe away the water from my face To look through the eyes of a stranger For rumour 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 Walking away like a stranger From 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
