On stranger nights
I've seen you staring back through
A cloudy sky
Towards a photo in a frame
But just the same
Behind the cloud, a Moon is rising
Just out of sight
To spy on you and me on stranger nights

When you feel so empty
Or the world spins the wrong way
When everyone in every place
Has something wrong to say
Take a breath or take a powder
Or take a lonely drive
The seaside sings her soothing whispers
On stranger nights

On stranger nights
I never sleep, I'm too busy dreaming
She comes to me
When twilight falls around my shoulders
Please don't bother me
The thought can be disturbed so easily
When all is right
Heaven can be found on stranger nights

When you feel so empty
Or the world spins the wrong way
When everyone in every place
Has something wrong to say
Take a breath or take a powder
Or take a lonely drive
The seaside sings her soothing whispers
On stranger nights
On stranger nights

On so strange a night as this
The Moon, the earth, the sea and heaven's kisses
Twilight falls around my shoulders
And she comes to me on the boulders
Cliffs reach up into the nighttime
Jutting up to touch the skyline
