Those words are all remainders
echoes 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 a stranger
Can't tell the real from reflection
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
And 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 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
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
Ohhh
In the eyes of a stranger
In the eyes of a stranger
