Hello Stranger

Hello stranger it's been oh, so long

Since we rode our luck where we once belonged

I think of you sometimes when the air is clear

I wonder, are you near?

Sometimes the end is sweet

Though when it comes to you, my poor heartbeat

Gets out of sync and time plays tricks

Old visions of you are where this boy sticks

See you in these books I read

You still being born at breakneck speed?

Sometimes there's no confession on this

Earth that will not leave you bound

Listen to the streetcars breathing

Night is young and life is calling

See you when the dream gets moving

Lift your eyes the world is watching

And after all we both know how this ends

We both know we must give back what we spend

Hello stranger, did you ever find

All those priceless jewels that you kept entwined?

I sometimes hear your name, when the day gets slow

I wonder, did you know?

I left your house praying

While those words I spoke hung upside down

Listen to the streetcars breathing

The night is young and life is calling

See you when the dream gets moving

Lift your eyes the world is watching

And after all we both know how this ends

We both know we just give back what we spend

Listen to the streetcars breathing

The night is young and life is calling

See you when the dream gets moving

Lift your eyes the world is watching

So lose those sad eyes and be on your way

Keep your friends close and your love on display

And after all we both know how this ends

We both know we must give back what we spend

Let it out, turn around, slip away

Maybe we'll meet again some day

Let it out, turn around, slip away

Maybe we'll meet again some day

Let it out, turn around, slip away

Maybe we'll meet again some day

Let it out, turn around, slip away

Maybe we'll meet again some day
