Sally Oldfield - Strangers in the Dawn Lyrics

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
'Cause something stronger was there
The way that I'm feeling tonight is lonely
'Cause 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

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
'Cause something stronger was there
The way that I'm feeling tonight is lonely
'Cause 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
