**[Intro: Rhodes, breathy sax]** Mmm… Last train, late night… **[Verse 1: intimate]** Rain on the window, Coffee gone cold, You look at me Like a story untold. **[Pre-Chorus: soft, building]** Don't say your name, Don't say a thing… **[Chorus: stacked harmonies]** Stay a stranger, stay a while, Give me just that half a smile, Close enough to touch, Too soon to let you go, Stay a stranger, Stay the one I'll never know. **[Verse 2: intimate]** An inch from your hand, A mile away, One more stop And you're yesterday. **[Pre-Chorus: soft, building]** Don't say your name, Don't say a thing… **[Chorus: stacked harmonies]** Stay a stranger, stay a while, Give me just that half a smile, Close enough to touch, Too soon to let you go, Stay a stranger, Stay the one I'll never know. **[Bridge: stripped down, runs]** Maybe love is Just the almost… The almost… **[Final Chorus: key change, ad-libs]** Stay a stranger, stay a while, Give me just that half a smile, Close enough to touch, Too soon to let you go, Stay a stranger, Stay the one I'll never know. **[Outro: whispered, fade]** Doors open… You look back… *(stay a stranger)*
