After the Fire - The Stranger lyrics

Walking along in the light of the streetlamps The rain makes the pavements and walls seem to shine I'm aware of the fact that there's someone behind me Footsteps I hear that are other than mine I try to walk faster but the stranger stays with me Every step that I take seems to quicken his pace He's alongside me now but I daren't turn to see him Then headlamps like searchlights flash over his face And I see the world in his eyes I'm down at the sea and I stand among sand-dunes The sky hangs so heavy and the sea's thick and gray The wind bends the reed-gra** and whistles its sad tune It bites at the water and chases the waves There's someone beside me - I know it's the stranger This time I'm not scared, this time there's no fear I turn and I see him standing there in the darkness The clouds part for a second and the moon shines so clear And I see the world in his eyes And I see the world in his eyes
