Strangers In the Street (P. P. Arnold Version) lyrics

[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]
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]
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
