STRANGER TO THE NIGHT Lyrics

Eerie evenings stroll on by

The pretence of living dies at night

Though I play on and on

For all amusement but mine

I run with strings across the rope

Another puppet with no hope

In a dream land

Of the Master to the Night

Here, the trail turns in reverse

As his sweet venom guides my curse

But with my glory days

Comes a price to pay

I close my eyes

To shield my mind

As I keep waiting

Like a Stranger to the Night

I can't go on without control

To and my life would be too cold

So, the bottles are on the tree

I'll play the Devil to set me free

For my soul must learn to breathe

My smiling sins must pay their fees

Though I should fall to my knees

I'll be a Friend to the Night.
