Strangers - David Gates

作词：David Gates

See the couple walking by

You can tell they've lost the twinkle in their eye

There's no smiling when they laugh

And there's no tears when they cry

Now the magic is all gone

It makes you wonder what their lives are living on

They can hardly even make it through till dawn

Strangers strangers strangers strangers in the night

Hoping evrything will turn out right

There's danger danger in the night

You've got to move in closer to the light

See the father and his son

From a distance don't

It seem they're having fun

But just a little closer look

Reveals that they're having none

Neither tries to understand

Both ashamed to give or get a helping hand

And so concerned the other thinks that he's a man

Strangers strangers strangers strangers in the night

They're hoping evrything will turn out right

There's danger danger in the night

You've got to move in closer to the light

Oh please help all the strangers in the night

Though the answer may seem clear

It's still a ways to go to get from there to here

Just remember we're all strangers

Now to someone who's near

Choose your words they're all like keys

That open doors that stand between the you's and me's

Today is not too late to start so if you please

Strangers strangers strangers strangers in the night

Hopin' ev'rything will turn out right

Strangers strangers in the night

Hopin' they find they find the way

Oh please help all the strangers find the way
