Hello stranger, it’s been oh so long Since we rode our luck where we once belonged I think of you sometimes when the air is clear I wonder are you near? Sometimes the end is sweet Though when it comes to you, my poor heartbeat Gets out of sync and time plays tricks Old visions of you are where this boy sticks I see you in these books I read Are you still being born at breakneck speed? Sometimes there’s no confession On this earth that will not leave you bound Listen to the streetcars breathing The night is young and life is calling I’ll see you when the dream gets moving Lift your eyes, the world is watching And after all, we both know how this ends We both know we must give back what we spend Hello stranger did you ever find All those priceless jewels that you kept entwined? I sometimes hear your name when the day gets slow I wonder did you know I left your house praying While those words I spoke hung upside down? Listen to the streetcars breathing The night is young and life is calling I’ll see you when the dream gets moving Lift your eyes the world is watching And after all we both know how this ends We both know we just give back what we spend Listen to the streetcars breathing The night is young and live is calling I’ll see you when the dream gets moving Lift your eyes the world is watching So lose those sad eyes and be on your way Keep your friends close and your love on display And after all, we both know how this ends We both know we must give back what we spend Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day
