Strangers in the Dawn

Oldfield

Last night I couldn't stand the crowd

I went walking down by the sea

The full moon shone on the silver sand

And I felt you were following me

All the summer our friendships growing

I felt that you really cared

I never wanted a one night stand

Cos something stronger was there

The way that I'm feeling tonight is lonely

Cos we've lost something fine

We could have taken it much more slowly

And found the perfect time

Oh

We became two strangers in the dawn

Now that love has gone I can't forget

Please stay

Oh

We became two strangers in the dawn

The things we could have done and could have said

Were just a breath away

You've been talking about your life

And the way that you want it to be

It felt so good when you took my hand

And you shared your soul with me

Suddenly your eyes were changing

There was something on your mind

Then I could have turned away

But desire was so blind

Oh

We became two strangers in the dawn

Now that love has gone I can't forget

Please stay

Oh

We became two strangers in the dawn

The things we could have done and could have said

Were just a breath away

Strangers in the dawn

Strangers in the dawn

Oh

We became two strangers in the dawn

Now that love has gone I can't forget

Please stay

Oh

We became two strangers in the dawn

The things we could have done and could have said

Please stay

Oh

We became two strangers in the dawn
