Beautiful Stranger Lyrics

My marbles are rolling right on out the door

I'd follow them if they were useful to me

These rattling thoughts they rattle some more

'Cause a beautiful stranger is all that I see

Stopped in my tracks I'm searching for the air

My lungs have hit the road and I'm slowed to a crawl

The way the golden sunlight shines in her hair

Redder than the leaves of fall

I can't help but wonder on what's in her mind

Like novels and art or thoughts about the moon

But before I can ask I've run out of time

The moment is born and passes too soon

Bitten by an arrow with the light that's on her face

Connected our eyes and my senses dissolved

It's as if an angel walks right in her place

Around her a million planets revolve

She's a daffodil in bloom and I cannot look away

Waltzing like a river across the dusty street

Then come the clouds casting shadows on the day

And a beautiful stranger I'll never meet

The eyes that I have are no different than yours

But how can it be they would curse me like this

It's all a mirage like a mirror on the floor

Leaving me lonely in lieu of a kiss

My joy and my sorrow are one and the same

Like pavement enduring the pound of the rain

She sparked my soul and ignited a flame

But a beautiful stranger is what she'll remain
