TAKE MY HAND
I'M A STRANGER IN PARADISE
ALL LOST IN A WONDERLAND
A STRANGER IN PARADISE
IF I STAND STARRY-EYED
THAT'S A DANGER IN PARADISE
FOR MORTALS
WHO STAND BESIDE
AN ANGEL LIKE YOU
I SAW YOUR FACE
AND I ASCENDED
OUT OF THE COMMON PLACE
INTO THE RARE
SOMEWHERE IN SPACE
I HANG SUSPENDED
UNTIL I KNOW
THERE'S A CHANCE
THAT YOU CARE
WON'T YOU ANSWER
THE FERVENT PRAYER
OF A STRANGER IN PARADISE
DON'T SEND ME IN DARK DESPAIR
FROM ALL THAT
I'VE HUNGERED FOR
BUT OPEN YOUR ANGEL ARMS
TO THIS STRANGER IN PARADISE
AND TELL HIM THAT HE NEED BE
A STRANGER NO MORE
DAWN'S PROMISING SKIES
PETALS ON A POOL DRIFTING
IMAGINE THESE
IN ONE PAIR OF EYES
AND THIS IS MY BELOVED...
STRANGE SPICE FROM THE SOUTH
HONEY THROUGH A COMB SIFTING
IMAGINE THESE
IN ONE EAGER MOUTH
AND THIS IS MY BELOVED
AND WHEN SHE SPEAKS
AND WHEN SHE TALKS TO ME
MUSIC, MYSTERY...
AND WHEN SHE MOVES
AND WHEN SHE WALKS WITH ME
PARADISE COMES
SUDDENLY NEAR
ALL THAT CAN STIR
ALL THAT CAN STUN
ALL THAT'S FOR
THE HEART'S LIFTING
IMAGINE THESE
IN ONE PERFECT ONE
AND THIS IS MY BELOVED...
AND THIS IS MY... BELOVED.......
