on a cold and windy morning, said goodbye to my old friends
they were hangin' around the corner,
they were stayin' till the end
on the other side of midnight,
i was lookin' for a place to stay
and one thing's sure for certain,
i ain't never goin' back again
the streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town
i was lookin' for another sundown
and my head was spinning round and round
chorus: lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
lookin' through the eyes of danger
lookin' at the all-night dancer
never takin' all the chances
as i walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square
and i heard a guitar playin' and i saw you standing there
chorus
distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
and the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight |
