[Verse 1]

Saw the night give way where the light was golden

So I took my leave of all that I was holding

Darling, come the day when your nightmares fall

I'll be on that first plane home

We'll outrun them all

[Chorus 1]

Well, I guess it's sweet

We still live like strangers in the street

[Verse 2]

It's the cruelest thing when the word is spoken

I swear it's a sin to see you heartbroken

Darling, come the day it's too much to breathe

I'll hold this space for you

And I won't let you leave

[Chorus 2]

I will keep the beat

We'll still move like strangers in the street

[Bridge]

Darling, come the time

When you slip away

I'll be that whispered word

That hangs around your doorway

[Chorus ]

Our tale complete

We'll still dance like strangers in the street
