[Intro] [Atmospheric synth pad] [Soft pulsing bass] [Clean guitar harmonics] [Verse 1] I met you on a train one afternoon Somewhere between the sea and the falling moon You took the empty seat beside me there And asked me why I was going somewhere We talked about the places we had seen The lives we'd left behind, the lives we'd dreamed You told me you would leave the train at five I never asked you where you planned to arrive [Pre-Chorus] We had no time to make a promise No reason to believe we'd meet again But something in the way you looked at me Stayed long after you were gone [Chorus] You're a stranger in my dreams A face I know but never really knew You disappeared somewhere between The life I had and the life I might have lived with you You're a stranger in my dreams Still walking somewhere I can't find I don't know your name, I don't know where you've been But sometimes you come back to me at night again [Verse 2] I remember you were laughing at the rain You drew a little map across the window pane You said, "Perhaps we'll meet another day" Then the station came and took you far away I watched the platform disappear behind And told myself I'd leave it all behind Years have passed, and I have loved again But some small questions never really end [Pre-Chorus] What if I'd asked you where you lived? What if I'd stayed another hour? What if one small decision changed the road And brought your life into mine? [Chorus] You're a stranger in my dreams A face I know but never really knew You disappeared somewhere between The life I had and the life I might have lived with you You're a stranger in my dreams Still walking somewhere I can't find I don't know your name, I don't know where you've been But sometimes you come back to me at night again [Instrumental Break] [Melodic synthesizer lead] [Echoing clean guitar] [Driving bass continues] [Bridge] Maybe you're living by another sea Maybe you have someone waiting there for you Maybe you don't remember me at all Maybe that is better, maybe that is true I don't need to find you anymore I don't need to know what might have been Some people pass through just once in our lives And somehow they remain within [Breakdown] [Drums reduced] [Soft synth pad] [Close intimate female vocal] I never knew your story You never knew mine But for one afternoon Our two worlds crossed in time [Final Chorus] [Full arrangement] [Stronger doubled lead vocal] You're a stranger in my dreams A face I know but never really knew You disappeared somewhere between The life I had and the life I might have lived with you You're a stranger in my dreams Still walking somewhere I can't find I don't know your name, I don't know where you've been But sometimes you come back to me at night again [Final Chorus] [Higher harmony] You're a stranger in my dreams And maybe that's where you should stay A little piece of another life That never had to find its way [Outro] [Atmospheric synth motif] [Soft female vocal] I never knew your name... But I remember you... A stranger in my dreams...
