Strangers In the Street (P. P. Arnold Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Saw the night give way where the light was golden So I took my leave of all that I was holding Darling, come the day when your nightmares fall I'll be on that first plane home We'll outrun them all [Chorus] Well, I guess it's sweet We still live like strangers in the street [Verse 2] It's the cruelest thing when the word is spoken I swear it's a sin to see you heartbroken Darling, come the day it's too much to breathe I'll hold this space for you And I won't let you leave [Chorus] I will keep the beat We'll still move like strangers in the street [Bridge] Darling, come the time When you slip away I'll be that whispered word That hangs around your doorway [Chorus] Our tale complete We'll still dance like strangers in the street
