Stranger - Jeff Lynne
On a cold and windy morning, said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin' around the corner
They were stayin' 'till the end - '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 - no no
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 - 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 - standing there
Chorus
Of a stranger
Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight
Chorus
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
I ain't never goin' back ... never going back ... never ... (fade)
