The Seventh Stranger - Live at Oakland Coliseum, Oakland, CA, 14/04/1984; 2004 Remaster

Those words are all remainders echos growing in the heart of twilight

They lay back laughing at naievity's star

Awakened all those whispers the dusty shadow of a passing favor

I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right I couldn't see from so far

Was I chasing after rainbows one thing for sure you never answered when I called

And I wiped away the water from my face to look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Trading in my shelter for danger I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

In the eyes of the stranger

Can't tell the real from reflection when all these faces look the same to me

In every city such a desolate dream

Some days are strange to number some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger

A year of Sunday's seems to have drifted right by

I could've sworn in one evening and I'm not seized in desperation

No steel reproaches on the table from before

But I still can feel those splinters of ice

I look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down in the eyes of the stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows

One thing for sure you never answer when I call

And I wipe away the water from my face to look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

Walking away like a stranger

From rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down in the eyes of the stranger

In the eyes of the stranger

In the eyes of the stranger
