When all the thrills have been forgotten

The chill of night can call them home

And all the dreams that you left stranded

Will slowly start to come along



I felt it as she slipped away, slipped away

I didn't have the words to say

When I saw the stranger

A stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street



You can go straight as an arrow

You can go straight as you dare

Walkin' the old straight and narrow

Don't always get you there



The sun was shining when I saw it all

She was moving to a different beat

When I met a stranger

A stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street



It came to me out of the blue, out of the blue

There came the moment that I really knew

When I met a stranger

A stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street



Stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street, on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street
