Beautiful Stranger, Beautiful Dream

Passionate winds sweep a blood-red sky
I find myself in a movie-star's arms
A car skids on a rain-slick road
And suddenly you're gone

Amber autumn leaves in an azure sky
I find myself singing a new song
I laugh and run to you
And I don't know who you are.

Empathise with me - you know how I feel
Sympathise with me - you know I'm crying too
Close your eyes with me - we'll fly away together
Into a beautiful dream

Stark white pinpricks in a midnight sky
I am surrounded by bubbles of light
A garden for me and you are there
But I don't know who you are

A tear smudged, ghost-grey sky
You find yourself in my dream
But I don't know your name
And you don't know who I am.

Empathise with me - you know how I feel
Sympathise with me - you know I'm crying too
Close your eyes with me - we'll fly away together
Into a beautiful dream

Who are you, beautiful stranger?
And man of my dreams?
Where are you, beautiful stranger?
And will we ever meet?

Passionate winds sweep a blood-red sky
I find myself in your arms
A car skids on a rain-slick road
And suddenly we've gone...

Empathise with me - you know how I feel
Sympathise with me - you know I'm crying too
Close your eyes with me - we'll fly away together
Into a beautiful dream.
