When all the thrills have been forgotten The chill of night can call them home, And all the dreams that you left stranded Will slowly start to come along.
I felt it as she slipped away, slipped away, I didn't have the words to say, When I saw the stranger, A stranger on a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street.
You can go straight as an arrow. You can go straight as you dare. Walkin' the old straight and narrow, Don't always get you there.
The sun was shining when I saw it all. She was moving to a different beat, When I met a stranger, A stranger on a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street.
It came to me out of the blue, out of the blue, There came the moment that I really knew, When I met a stranger, A stranger on a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street.
Stranger on a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street, On a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street, Stranger on a quiet street...
