The Stranger Lyrics

The Stranger lyrics

Well, we all have a face that we hide away forever
And we take them out and
show ourselves when everyone has gone.
Some are satin, some are
steel,
Some are silk and some are leather.
They're the faces of a
stranger,
But we'd love to try them on.

Well, we all fall in
love,
But we disregard the danger,
Though we share so many
secrets,
There are some we never tell.
Why were you so surprised that you
never saw the stranger?
Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in
yourself?

Don't be afraid to try again.
Everyone goes south every now
and then.
You've done it.
Why can't someone else?
You should know by
now.
You've been there yourself.

Once I used to believe I was such a
great romancer.
Then I came home to a woman that I could not
recognize.
When I pressed her for a reason,
She refused to even
answer.
It was then I felt the stranger kick me right between the
eyes.

Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though
we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so
surprised that you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
the stranger in yourself.

Don't be afraid to try again.
Everyone goes
south every now and then.
You've done it.
Why can't someone else?
You
should know by now.
You've been there yourself.

You may never
understand how the stranger is inspired.
But he isn't always evil and he is
not always wrong.
Though you drown in good intensions,
You will never
quench the fire.
You'll give in to your desire when the stranger comes
along.
