"Strangers In The Street" lyrics
The Fratellis & P.P. Arnold Lyrics
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
And we'll outrun them all
Well I guess it's sweet
We still live like strangers in the street
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
I will keep the beat
We'll still move like strangers in the street
Darling come the time
When you slip away
I'll be that whispered word
That hangs around your doorway
Our tale complete
We'll still dance like strangers in the street
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
And we'll outrun them all
Well I guess it's sweet
We still live like strangers in the street
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
I will keep the beat
We'll still move like strangers in the street
Darling come the time
When you slip away
I'll be that whispered word
That hangs around your doorway
Our tale complete
We'll still dance like strangers in the street
