Those words are all remainders
Echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's 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 the 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...

(chorus)

-

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 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
Walking away like a stranger

(chorus)

In the eyes of the stranger..

In the eyes of the stranger..

In the eyes of the stranger..
