On a cold and windy morning, said goodbye to my old friends They were hangin' around the corner, They were stayin' till the end On the other side of midnight, I was lookin' for a place to stay And one thing's sure for certain, I ain't never goin' back again The streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town I was lookin' for another sundown And my head was spinning round and round [Chorus:] Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger Lookin' through the eyes of danger Lookin' at the all-night dancer Never takin' all the chances As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square And I heard a guitar playin' and I saw you standing there [Chorus] Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight
