The Seventh Stranger - Duran Duran

Echoes growing in the heart of twilight

They lay back laughing at naivety’s star

Awaken all those whispers in 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 a stranger

Can’t tell the real from reflections

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 Sundays seems to have drifted right by

(I could have 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 a 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 rumour 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 a stranger
