C		     Em
Those words are all remainders,
C		       Em
echoes growing in the heart of twilight
Gm7	       Dm	   Gm7     Dm
They lay back laughing at naivety star
C                 Em	
Awaken all those whispers
C		      Em
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
Gm7	   Dm		     Gm7	 Dm
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
Gm7	   Dm	        C
I couldn't see from so far

F		     C
Was I chasing after rainbows?
	       Em	                     Am	
One thing for sure you never answered when I called
F		      D
And I wiped away the water from my face
    E			       Am     C
to look through the eyes of a stranger

Chorus:
    Fmaj7	   Fm		  G
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
  D			   Am   C
trading in my shelter for danger
     Fmaj7	 Fm		  G
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
        D                Am
in the eyes of a stranger

Can't tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
I could have sworn in one evening

And I'm not seized in desperation
No steel reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger

Chorus

I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
And I wipe away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger

Chorus

In the eyes of a stranger.
