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
