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
