The Seventh Stranger (As the Lights Go Down) Songtext
von Duran Duran

Those words are all remainders
Echoes growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety′s star

Awakened all those whispers
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
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 rumours 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 rumours 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 rumours 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 rumours 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
